When a fire damages your home, the aftermath is overwhelming. Between smoke, soot, structural damage, and the emotional toll, the last thing you should worry about is battling the insurance company for a fair settlement. That is where we step in. At Florida’s Best Public Adjusters, we specialize in helping homeowners secure the compensation they deserve for underpaid, denied, and brand-new fire damage claims.

Our team understands every detail of the claims process, and we know how to challenge insurers when they undervalue or refuse valid fire-related damages. Whether your fire claim is just beginning or you are already frustrated with your insurance company’s response, we are here to protect your rights and handle the process from start to finish.

Understanding Fire Damage Claims in Florida

Fire damage is far more complex than what is visible. While insurance companies often focus on surface-level repairs, we investigate the full scope of the loss to ensure nothing is overlooked.

Step 1 of 2

Common overlooked damages include:

  • Smoke and soot residue that spreads into vents, cabinets, and insulation

  • Odor contamination that requires professional remediation

  • Hidden structural damage behind walls and ceilings

  • Electrical issues caused by heat exposure

  • Damage to flooring, cabinetry, and household systems

  • Water damage from fire suppression efforts

When we inspect a property, we look beyond the obvious. Our goal is to uncover every detail that impacts your home’s safety, value, and livability.

Denied Fire Claims: Why They Happen and How We Help

Many homeowners are shocked to learn their fire claim was denied, even when the cause seemed clear. Denials often stem from misinterpretation of policy language or incomplete documentation—not from a lack of coverage.

The most common reasons insurers deny fire claims include:

  • Allegations of improper maintenance

  • Claims of insufficient documentation

  • Disputes over the cause of the fire

  • Misclassification of smoke, soot, or water damage

  • Claim filing errors

When a denial happens, we immediately step in to review your policy, examine your insurer’s reasoning, and gather the evidence needed to overturn the decision. We have handled thousands of denied claims across Florida, and we know how to build a strong case that forces insurers to reconsider.

Underpaid Fire Claims: Why You Should Not Accept Less Than You Deserve

An underpaid fire claim is even more common than a denied one. Insurers often offer quick, low settlements that do not come close to covering the true cost of repairs.

Signs your fire claim may have been underpaid:

  • The offer does not cover all areas affected by smoke or soot

  • Repairs exceed the amount the insurance company approved

  • The adjuster did not inspect the entire home

  • You were pressured to accept a settlement quickly

  • Contractors estimate higher repair costs than the insurer

When we take over an underpaid claim, we conduct a full reassessment of the damages, bring in industry experts when needed, and negotiate directly with the insurance company to fight for additional compensation.

Starting a New Fire Damage Claim With Us Makes the Process Easier

If your fire claim has not yet been filed, starting with a public adjuster puts you in the strongest position. We handle inspections, documentation, communication with the insurer, and every step that influences the final settlement.

When filing a new fire claim, we:

  • Inspect and document all structural, smoke, soot, and water damage

  • Create a detailed estimate based on actual repair costs

  • Submit the claim with full supporting evidence

  • Manage all communication with the insurer

  • Protect you from accepting a low initial offer

  • Keep the process moving quickly and efficiently

A properly documented claim from the start significantly improves your outcome—and reduces stress during an already difficult time.
