About Monroe County property insurance claims
Monroe County is a significant Florida insurance market: claim frequency, carrier concentration, and storm exposure vary materially across our coverage area. Ocean Point Claims represents Monroe County policyholders from intake through settlement.
Irma (2017) hit the lower and middle Keys directly as a Category 4, destroying or damaging the majority of structures in Cudjoe Key, Big Pine, and parts of Marathon. Reconstruction continues more than eight years later. Subsequent storms have added supplemental exposure.

Monroe County carrier landscape
Citizens is the dominant Monroe County writer; private carriers have largely withdrawn from the Keys. Wind deductibles are typically high (2-5%) and flood exposure is nearly universal.
Why Monroe County property claims are often underpaid
Claim underpayment in Monroe 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 Monroe County claims

- 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.
