One Year after Hurricane Irma, Public Adjusters Move Up to 20% for Damage

NAPLES, Fla., Sept. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Homeowners in Florida now have less than 72 hours to file a home insurance claim and use a public adjuster while paying just 10% of their settlement to do so.

After Hurricane Irma's one year anniversary, if homeowners find new damage from the hurricane, they'll have to give an adjuster 20% of their settlement, rather than the typical 10% for hurricane damage claims. This is because one year after the natural disaster, public adjusters are legally allowed to charge more in their fees to homeowners.

Hurricane Irma happened 1 year ago, and the 10 billion dollars worth of damage the storm left behind isn't all fixed. From demolition work needed in the Keys to roofs that are still covered with tarps all over the state, the one question we keep hearing is, "Where do I get the money to pay for it all?"

The answer is, not from your insurance company. Typically, your insurance company isn't going to give you the full amount that your contractor actually quotes you. This is game home insurance companies play with homeowners. The back and forth may conclude in litigation, which results in an even greater percentage of the settlement being given to the attorney.

The hurricane's anniversary year isn't the only thing going up. Premiums are following suit, with some homeowners paying up to 10% more than they did last year. The amount that insurance companies actually pay you in your damage settlement is going down.

What do homeowners have in their arsenal? Public adjusters. That's where Bulldog Adjusters comes in.
