$63,000 Fort Lauderdale Water Damage Claim from Hurricane Irma

Water Damage from Hurricane Irma on high rise condo in Fort Lauderdale Florida. Our Public Adjusters reopened the claim in November of 2018, after the denial and settled with the carrier in less than 60 days without a lawsuit for $63,000 after deductible.

The experts at Florida’s Best Public Adjusters represent the rights of the clients!

The insured client filed a claim for floor damage in a high rise condo. Universal Property and Casualty denies the claim stating that the cause was cleaning products even though a floor expert stated that was not the reason. The client called Florida’s Best Public Adjusters – Fort Lauderdale for a free consultation. Our senior public adjuster Stephen Lippy, felt after interviewing insured, reviewing the experts assessment and studying the slope on the floor in from the living room sliding windows that the water intrusion was caused by Hurricane Irma forcing water into the unit and reopened the claim as a hurricane damage claim.

When he asked the client why they did not tell the adjuster from the carrier about moping up the water blowing in through the sliding windows, the answer was, “we were never asked”.

Our expert public adjuster reopened the claim in November of 2018 after the denial and settled with the carrier in less than 60 days, without law suit for $63,000 after deductible for water intrusion from Hurricane Irma in 2017.

I've had the pleasure of working with Stephen Lippy for several years, and I’ve consistently watched him bring tremendous success to his clients’ claims. His dedication to Florida homeowners is evident in every interaction, and it’s been remarkable to watch him grow Florida's Best Public Adjuster into a true statewide powerhouse. As an appraiser, I’ve had the opportunity to serve on a number of his clients’ claims. Each time, Stephen and his team have presented a well-organized, clearly articulated product that streamlines the appraisal process and allows for efficient resolution. His firm is professional, thorough, and simply put—they get results. Stephen is outstanding at what he does, and it shows in every file he touches.

I found myself in new and confusing territory in the aftermath of tornadoes and their destruction. It was a comfort to know that help was just a phone call or an email away.

Florida’s Best Public Adjusters ARE the best. Our adjuster came to the house a few times to scope out the damage from a water leak and he spent quite a bit of time measuring the affected areas. The resulting claim amount was amazing. If we had handled the insurance company ourselves we would have come up way short. We highly recommend and trust Florida’s Best. Thanks Julian!
