About Miami-Dade County property insurance claims
Miami-Dade County is a significant Florida insurance market: claim frequency, carrier concentration, and storm exposure vary materially across our coverage area. Ocean Point Claims represents Miami-Dade County policyholders from intake through settlement.
Miami-Dade is exposed to Atlantic-side hurricane impacts, with Irma (2017) and a series of near-misses dominating recent claim history. Miami is a High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the strictest building-code regime in Florida, which affects both claim scope and code-upgrade coverage.

Miami-Dade County carrier landscape
Citizens Property Insurance retains a sizable share of Miami-Dade policies as private carriers restrict new writing. UPCIC, Universal, and State Farm Florida are also active in this market. Carrier-level denial patterns vary: we factor that into every claim strategy.
Why Miami-Dade County property claims are often underpaid
Claim underpayment in Miami-Dade County typically traces to three factors:
- Scope reduction. The carrier's field adjuster or third-party inspector documents less damage than a full Xactimate estimate supports.
- Coverage-disputation tactics. Sudden-and-accidental losses recharacterized as gradual, wear-and-tear, or excluded-peril.
- Delay as leverage. Statutory response deadlines (Fla. Stat. 627.70131) breached in a way that pressures you to accept partial payment to close the claim.
Each of these is beatable with proper documentation, a full re-estimate, statute-grounded demand letters, and escalation through appraisal, mediation, or Civil Remedy Notice when the carrier will not pay fairly.
How Ocean Point handles Miami-Dade County claims
- Free claim review. A licensed Florida public adjuster reviews your policy, the denial or settlement letter, and the damage documentation at no cost.
- On-site inspection. We inspect the property, document the full scope of loss, and photograph / measure per Xactimate standards.
- Policy review. Every coverage, endorsement, and exclusion is identified and cross-referenced against the documented scope.
- Submission and negotiation. We submit the claim package and negotiate on scope and pricing, line item by line item.
- Resolution. Settled directly where possible; escalated to appraisal, mediation, or CRN when the carrier refuses to pay fairly.
