Yes, LA Consulting can reopen and appeal claims that have been denied or underpaid. Many property owners believe that once their insurer issues a decision, the matter is final. In reality, Florida law and most insurance policies allow for claims to be revisited when new evidence, overlooked damages, or errors in evaluation are identified. Our team specializes in uncovering these issues and building strong cases that force insurers to reconsider. If your claim was denied or paid far below what you need, it is not too late to fight back.
Why insurers deny or underpay claims
Insurance companies often deny claims by citing exclusions, claiming damages were pre-existing, or arguing the loss does not fall under covered events. In underpaid claims, they may simply undervalue materials, labor, or contents. These tactics are designed to protect company profits, not policyholders. Without professional representation, many property owners feel pressured to accept these outcomes. At LA Consulting, we challenge these decisions by pointing to clear policy language and presenting evidence the insurer ignored.
How reopening a claim works
The process begins with a full review of your denial letter, settlement documents, and policy. We then conduct our own inspection to identify damages or costs the insurer missed. Using photographs, expert reports, and industry-standard pricing, we prepare a new claim package that directly addresses the insurer’s reasoning. Once submitted, we negotiate on your behalf to reopen the claim and secure a fair settlement. If necessary, we escalate the dispute through appraisal or mediation.
Our proactive approach often results in dramatically improved outcomes.
Real examples of successful appeals
Many of our clients come to us after losing hope with their insurer. For example, a family denied for roof damage was told their issues were due to wear and tear. After LA Consulting’s inspection revealed storm-created openings, the insurer reversed its denial and paid $38,000. In another case, a business underpaid for water damage received an additional $120,000 after we documented hidden structural issues. These successes show that denials and underpayments are not the end of the road.
With the right representation, your claim can still be turned around.
Why you should act quickly
While claims can be reopened, deadlines do apply. Florida policies typically allow several years to revisit a claim, but waiting too long can weaken your case as evidence deteriorates. Contacting LA Consulting as soon as possible gives us the best chance to recover additional funds. The sooner we can inspect your property and review your file, the stronger our appeal will be.
Delaying action could mean leaving thousands of dollars on the table.
The bottom line
Yes, LA Consulting can reopen or appeal denied and underpaid claims. By reviewing your policy, conducting new inspections, and building strong evidence, we have a proven track record of overturning insurer decisions and securing fair compensation. Even if your insurer has already closed your file, it is not too late—our team can fight to recover the settlement you deserve.
