Filing an Insurance Claim? Avoid These 5 Common Mistakes Property Owners Make

Filing a property damage claim might seem simple, but one wrong move can cost you thousands—or get your claim denied altogether. At All Service Adjusting of Miami, we’ve seen the most common mistakes homeowners and business owners make, and we know exactly how to prevent them.


Top 5 Mistakes Property Owners Make When Filing Insurance Claims:

  1. Not Documenting the Damage Properly
  2. Incomplete or blurry photos won’t cut it. We document every inch, inside and out, with professional detail.
  3. Waiting Too Long to File the Claim
  4. Delays can lead to disputes over cause and liability. We ensure timely submission with accurate paperwork.
  5. Starting Repairs Before the Insurance Adjuster Arrives
  6. This can destroy critical evidence. We make sure everything is inspected before work begins.
  7. Underestimating the Value of the Loss
  8. Many owners accept lowball estimates. We fight for the full amount you’re entitled to, including hidden damage and secondary issues.
  9. Trusting the Insurance Company’s Adjuster Without a Second Opinion
  10. Their adjuster works for them—not for you. Our public adjusters work solely for you to protect your interests.


The best way to avoid these mistakes? Work with a licensed public adjuster from day one. If you're facing property damage in Miami, FL, All Service Adjusting of Miami will make sure your claim is handled right—and that you receive every dollar you’re owed.
