TYPES OF CLAIMS
We can help you with your residential or commercial claim.
If you've suffered damage to your property in South Florida, whether due to a natural disaster, fire, or other unexpected events, you may need to file an insurance claim. Filing an insurance claim can be a daunting process, but with the right guidance, it can be straightforward and stress-free. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you file an insurance claim in South Florida:
Steps To Filing An INSURANCE CLAIM
1. Assess the Damage
The first step to filing an insurance claim is assessing the damage to your property. Take pictures and videos of the damage, and create an inventory of any items that have been lost or damaged. This documentation will be critical when you file your claim.
​
2. Contact Your Insurance Company
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the damage and begin the claims process. Your insurance company will assign an adjuster to your case, who will work with you to assess the damage and determine the amount of your claim.
​
3. Review Your Policy
Review your insurance policy to understand what is covered and what is not. Note any deductibles or limits that may apply to your claim. Understanding your policy will help you determine what you are entitled to and what you need to do to make sure your claim is paid.
​
4. Meet with the Adjuster
Meet with your insurance adjuster to review the damage to your property. Be sure to provide all documentation and information necessary to support your claim. Your adjuster may need to inspect the damage in person, so be prepared to show them around your property.
​
5. Evaluate Your Claim
Once the insurance adjuster has assessed the damage and reviewed the evidence you provided, they will determine the amount of your claim and send payment. Be sure to provide all necessary documentation and information, and follow up with your insurance company as needed to ensure your claim is being processed.

6. Hire a Public Adjuster
If you are having trouble getting your insurance claim paid, or if you feel that the amount of your claim is unfair, you may want to consider hiring a public adjuster. A public adjuster is a licensed professional who can help you negotiate with your insurance company and get the settlement you deserve.
