How long will my insurance claim take?

It is one of the most common questions we are asked, and the honest answer is: it depends.

The timeline can vary based on the type of claim, the policy, the insurance company, the details of the loss, the documentation needed, and whether the claim is accepted, underpaid, partially denied, or denied in full.

Some claims move quickly. Others require patience, persistence, and follow-up. Even when an insurance company makes an initial decision, that does not always mean the claim is finished. If the claim is underpaid or denied, additional steps may be available, including a supplement, negotiation, appraisal, mediation, settlement, or litigation depending on the situation.

At VIP Adjusting, we work to keep your claim moving, make sure your damage is properly documented, and put you in the strongest position possible to recover the payment you are owed.

⚠️ You may have already signed away your right to sue your insurance company.

If your property insurance policy includes an arbitration clause, it can completely change how your claim is handled.

Instead of going to court, you could be forced into a private process with:
• No jury
• Limited ability to challenge decisions
• Fewer legal protections

Most homeowners don’t realize this until a claim is denied or underpaid. By then, your options may already be limited.

This is becoming more common, especially here in Florida, and it’s something every homeowner should understand before a loss ever happens.

If you’re not sure what your policy says, now is the time to find out.

Call 772-600-4663 or email [email protected] to have a licensed Public Adjuster review your policy and identify any risks before they impact your claim.

Filed a claim with your insurance company and disappointed with the outcome?

You’re not alone.

A lot of claims are underpaid the first time around. Damage gets missed, costs are underestimated, or issues don’t show up until repairs begin.

That’s where a supplemental claim comes in. It gives you the opportunity to recover additional funds when your original settlement falls short.

We put together a quick breakdown explaining how it works, when it applies, and what to look for.

If your claim didn’t fully cover your repairs, it may be worth a second look.

Happy Easter from VIP Adjusting! 🐰🌸

Hurricane Milton didn’t just bring wind and rain, it also produced multiple tornadoes across Florida that caused severe, localized damage.

Many homeowners have already settled their claims, but that does not always mean everything was accounted for.

In Florida, you have 18 months from the date of loss to file a supplemental claim. The deadline for Hurricane Milton is:

April 9, 2026

If your repairs cost more than what insurance paid, or if damage was missed, you may still be able to recover additional funds.

We offer a free claim assessment to review your situation and determine if anything was overlooked.

📞 Reach out before the deadline passes.
