Fort Myers, Florida

Sample matters, in plain numbers

Each one shows what the insurer offered first, what was paid, and what changed in between.

  • $68,900 paid

    Roof and ceilings after a hurricane

    The first offer was $14,200. An engineer's report and an appraisal moved it.

    2025

  • Denial withdrawn

    Water damage called wear and tear

    The policy covered sudden leaks. A plumber's report and the policy's own words did the work.

    2024

  • $41,300 paid

    Kitchen fire, smoke and contents

    The insurer paid for the kitchen only. Smoke cleaning and the contents list were added.

    2024

  • Claim reopened

    Screen enclosure and lanai, windstorm

    Closed with no payment. Reopened after a second inspection with the homeowner present.

    2023

  • $27,800 paid

    Roof leak at a rental home, windstorm

    Called a pre-existing leak. A roofer's dated photos and the policy's wind provision changed the position.

    2024

  • Appraisal set $53,100

    Hurricane damage, two-story home

    The insurer's estimate was $31,900. The appraisal panel set the amount.

    2023

These are sample matters, not promises. Every claim turns on its own policy and facts, and past results don't predict the outcome of yours. Dollar figures are what the insurer paid, before fees and costs.

How to read a result

A result here lists the first offer, what was paid and what changed. It doesn't list what the client paid in fees and costs, which depends on the fee agreement and on the case.

What we leave out

Client names, addresses and the insurer's name. A claim's details belong to the people who lived it.

What a result can't tell you

How yours will go. A policy's words, the date of the loss and the evidence you have matter more than any other claim's number.
