My name is Sterling Scott, and I am the owner of Trust Public Adjusting Group, a local public adjusting firm that I founded nearly a decade ago in Daytona Beach. Over the years, we have assisted thousands of local property owners in navigating the complexities of insurance claims for both residential and commercial properties. As an expert in property insurance claims, I aim to share my experiences, industry knowledge, and useful information with the community.

The Two-Year Deadline for Hurricane Ian Claims

As we approach the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Ian, I want to inform my readers that you can still file a claim for Hurricane Ian. In 2022, the law stated that you had two years from the date of the storm to file an insurance claim. Although the statutory laws changed in 2023, reducing the filing period to one year, you can still file a claim for Hurricane Ian and Nicole for up to two years.

If you have already filed a claim and it was underpaid or denied, it’s not too late. We can still help you. We successfully overturn approximately 90 percent of the denials we accept, so don’t worry about the insurance company’s stance.

Additionally, we significantly increase the payout of our supplemental claims. An unbiased study by the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) shows that public adjusters increase payouts by 747 percent, which is nearly 7.5 times the original payout. Trust Public Adjusting Group has achieved even higher increases in claim payouts.

Why You Need a Property Inspection?

If you’re unsure whether your property has sustained any damage, let us conduct a FREE property inspection and present our findings to you. This will enable you to make an informed decision about whether to file a claim.

Getting your property properly inspected for potential Hurricane Ian damages is crucial. In 2022, the laws were more favorable to policyholders than insurers. It’s vital to give yourself every opportunity to make an informed decision about filing a claim for any hurricane but especially Hurricane Ian or Nicole.

How Can Trust Public Adjusting Group’s Free Policy Review & Property Inspection Benefit You?

Remember, the laws were more favorable to the insured when Hurricane Ian made landfall. Take advantage of a free policy review and property inspection from Trust Public Adjusting Group to decide whether or not to file a claim. If you are worried about filing claims and what may happen after filing a claim, we can discuss that as well.

Just remember, as I stated in a previous article, the insurance companies only raise rates for entire areas and do not single the policy holder out for filing a claim nor can they drop you for filing a claim. Call us for more details. We are here to help you and equip you with the correct information.
