At LA Consulting Public Adjusters in Florida, clients ask directly: what's our success rate in increasing hurricane claim payouts? In practice we improve recovery for the majority of hurricane claims we handle. Outcomes vary by policy language, preexisting conditions, timing, and documentation, but our case reviews show typical settlement uplifts often ranging from 20% to 300% depending on complexity and missed coverages. We measure success by net additional recovery after fees, not just headline offers, and we document every step to support appeals and appraisals.
How We Measure Success
We track multiple metrics: percentage of files with increased settlements, average percent uplift, time to resolution, and net recovery after our fees. Success means recovering valid, documented insurance benefits you were entitled to under your policy. We compare initial insurer offers to final settlements and report the delta to clients and for internal quality review.
Factors That Affect Success Rates
Several factors influence success: the clarity of your policy, quality and timing of damage documentation, presence of hidden or secondary damages, and whether repairs or mitigation were performed promptly. Hurricane claims often involve roof, HVAC, water intrusion, and wind-driven debris issues that insurers underreport. Strong documentation and expert estimates substantially improve negotiation leverage.
We also consider adjuster assignment, insurer claim handling history, and statutory timelines in Florida. When coverage disputes arise we deploy engineers, contractors, and forensic specialists to establish causation and scope, which increases the probability of a materially higher settlement.
Our Methodology
Our proven process includes immediate triage, thorough on-site inspection, high-resolution photo and video capture, policy and endorsement review, line-by-line estimate creation, and formal demand package preparation. We prepare documentation suitable for appraisal or litigation if necessary.
We collaborate with licensed engineers, Xactimate-certified estimators, and reputable contractors to justify scope and pricing. Every file is audited internally for missed coverages and depreciation recovery opportunities before negotiation.
Real Results and Typical Outcomes
While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, our internal audits show the majority of hurricane claims handled by our team result in a higher settlement than the insurer's first offer. Complex and underinsured losses often see the largest uplifts. We present anonymized case summaries explaining the uplift drivers for client transparency.
For budgeting services we discuss contingency fee structures, phased engagement options, and documentation packages so you can plan professional advocacy without guessing fixed prices. We describe methodologies and payment structures rather than listing fixed fees.

LA Consulting Public Adjusters is licensed in Florida and follows state regulations and best practices. We maintain verifiable case records, provide audit-ready reports, and disclose our success metrics and fee structures in writing. Our team emphasizes documented evidence, professional estimates, and clear accounting so you understand how increased settlements were achieved.
