About Miami property insurance claims
Miami is Florida's largest insurance market by population. The city sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the strictest building-code regime in the state, which affects both claim scope and code-upgrade coverage on every loss. Hurricane Andrew (1992), Wilma (2005), and Irma (2017) each produced massive claim volumes; older Miami homes face Andrew-era retrofit considerations, while high-rise condos along Brickell, Edgewater, and the beaches contend with master-policy versus HO-6 scope on every storm.

Why Miami insurance claims are often underpaid
The pattern in Miami matches the broader Florida market:
- Scope reduction: carrier inspectors miss or minimize damage that a full Xactimate estimate captures.
- Cause-of-loss disputes: sudden water losses recharacterized as gradual to fit an exclusion.
- Deductible manipulation: hurricane deductibles applied to losses that are not, in fact, from a named storm.
- Delay beyond statutory response deadlines: violates Fla. Stat. 627.70131 but requires documented pressure to correct.
