From Denied to $25,270: Turning a Windstorm Claim Around in Florida

Final Settlement: $25,270.00

Initial Incident

After a windstorm in Florida, the insured’s covered patio roof sustained significant damage, leading to water intrusion into the family room. The homeowners promptly filed a claim expecting coverage under their policy.

The Insurance Company’s Response

  • Sent an engineer whose report resulted in a full claim denial.
  • Relied on a questionable engineering opinion to avoid coverage.
  • After a reinspection was demanded, reversed the denial.
  • Reclassified the claim as “covered” but valued the damages below the deductible — resulting in $0 payment.

How We Helped

Coast 2 Coast Adjusters stepped in and took immediate action:

  • Demanded a formal reinspection of the property.
  • Challenged the findings of the original engineering report.
  • Documented all storm-related damages, including roof and interior water intrusion.
  • Applied continued pressure and refused to accept an unfair outcome.
  • Negotiated aggressively to secure proper compensation without immediately resorting to litigation.

The Final Result

Settlement Achieved: $25,270.00

What began as a full denial with an engineering report shifted to an under-deductible determination — and ultimately resulted in a $25,270.00 settlement for the homeowner.
