Fire Insurance Claim FAQs
My insurance company denied my fire damage claim. What can I do?
A denial is not the final word. Florida law protects policyholders from unfair claim denials. An attorney can review your policy and denial letter, gather independent evidence of fire damage, and dispute the denial — often recovering significantly more than the insurer initially offered.
How long do I have to file a fire damage insurance claim in Florida?
You must report fire damage to your insurer promptly. Once your insurer requests a proof of loss, you typically have 60 days to submit it. The statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit is generally 3 years from the date of loss. After the 2022 tort reforms, timelines are stricter — contact an attorney immediately.
Does homeowners insurance cover all types of fire damage?
Most Florida homeowners policies cover fire damage including structural damage, smoke damage, soot contamination, water damage from firefighting, and personal property losses. However, insurers often dispute the extent of damage or allege arson. We fight to ensure every covered loss is paid.
What if my insurer says the fire was caused by arson?
Arson allegations are one of the most common tactics insurers use to deny fire claims. The burden of proof is on the insurer. We work with independent fire investigators and forensic experts to challenge baseless arson allegations and protect your claim.
Can I claim additional living expenses (ALE) after a fire?
Yes. Most homeowners policies include ALE or loss of use coverage for temporary housing, meals, and other living expenses while your home is uninhabitable due to fire damage. Insurers often underpay ALE — we fight for the full amount you're entitled to.
How much does a fire damage attorney cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover money for your fire damage claim. Our fee is a percentage of what we win. If we don't recover anything, you owe us nothing.
Don't Let Your Insurer Win
Your insurance company has adjusters, lawyers, and billions on their side. You deserve someone fighting just as hard for you. Whether your fire claim was denied, underpaid, or delayed — we review your case for free and fight for every dollar your policy covers. No fees unless we win your claim.
