Are public adjusters worth it?

For most denied, underpaid, delayed, or significant Florida property claims: yes. Ocean Point's case results consistently show recoveries materially larger than carrier-initial offers, even net of our contingency fee. The contingency structure means you only pay if we recover, and you only pay a percentage of the additional recovery.

Short answer: For most denied, underpaid, delayed, or significant Florida property claims, yes. Ocean Point's documented case results consistently show recoveries materially larger than carrier initial offers, even net of the contingency fee. You pay nothing if there is no recovery, and only a percentage of what is recovered. If engagement won't help, we tell you so.

The math

  • You pay nothing if there's no recovery
  • Our fee is a percentage of what we recover
  • The question isn't "is the fee reasonable" but "will engagement produce a larger net recovery than DIY?"

For most complex claims, the answer is yes.


Our documented case results

Three claims surfaced on our homepage:

  • Sanibel hurricane: $194,000 carrier offer → $740,553 final settlement (+281.7%)
  • Fort Myers Beach commercial: $678,026 offer → $1,793,588 settlement (+164.5%)
  • Stuart residential: $134,260 offer → $377,000 settlement (+180.7%)

Even after our contingency fee, the net recovery to the policyholder is substantially higher than the initial offer.


Ocean Point Claims:how do i prove damage

When we tell clients we can't help

If a claim has already settled reasonably, or the additional recovery potential is too small to justify engagement, we tell the client. Free claim reviews exist so you can make an informed decision: including the decision not to engage us.


Public data

FAPIA research and OPPAGA findings have historically shown Florida policyholders with public adjuster representation receive materially higher settlements on property insurance claims, particularly after hurricanes.

Frequently asked questions

Is a public adjuster worth the fee?
On most complex Florida claims, yes. Ocean Point works on contingency, so you pay nothing if there is no recovery, and the fee is only a percentage of what gets recovered. The useful question is not whether the fee itself is reasonable, but whether representation produces a larger net recovery than handling the claim alone. For most underpaid or denied claims, it does, even after the fee.
When is hiring a public adjuster not worth it?
Not every claim needs one. If your claim has already settled reasonably, or the additional recovery potential is too small to justify engagement, a public adjuster may not add value, and Ocean Point will tell you that directly. Free claim reviews exist so you can make an informed decision, including the decision not to hire us.
Do Florida policyholders with a public adjuster actually recover more?
Historically, yes. FAPIA research and OPPAGA findings have shown Florida policyholders with public adjuster representation receive materially higher settlements on property insurance claims, particularly after hurricanes. Ocean Point's own documented case results follow the same pattern: carrier offers that climbed substantially once the claim was fully documented and presented, with net recovery still well above the initial offer after the contingency fee.
