About Olympus

Olympus Insurance Company is a Florida property insurer based in Palm Beach Gardens. It began business on August 8, 2008 and is a subsidiary of Gemini Financial Holdings Corporation, according to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation’s examination report.

In the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation’s Q2 2026 market-share report, Olympus had 77,294 residential policies in force as of June 30, 2026, ranking 31st among Florida residential property insurers by policy count.

Why Olympus claims get denied or underpaid

General reasons Florida homeowners report for denied or short-paid claims, with any carrier (not a description of Olympus’s internal rules):

Roof repair vs. replacement

Disputes often turn on how much of the roof is damaged and whether a repair can meet code. Under s. 553.844(5), Florida Statutes, the 25% rule works differently for roofs built or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later.

Wind vs. water intrusion

Interior water after a storm is often disputed unless the file shows how the water got in. Document the opening, the path and the timing with photos taken before cleanup.

Sudden vs. long-term leaks

Water damage policies often exclude seepage or leakage over 14 days or more. A plumber’s written report on the cause and timing of the leak can make the difference.

Mold limits

Many Florida policies cap mold or fungi coverage at a low sub-limit. How the water got there, and how fast it was addressed, often decides what is paid.

Scope that stops at the stain

Estimates sometimes price only the visibly damaged area. Moisture readings, removal of wet materials and matching of adjoining finishes often belong in the scope too.

Tip: Hold the insurer to the 60-day decision

Under s. 627.70131(7)(a), Florida Statutes, a residential insurer must pay or deny a claim, or a portion of it, within 60 days after notice, with a reasonable written explanation. Mark the date you reported the claim.

What to do after a Olympus denial or low offer

  1. 1

    Get the decision and the reasons in writing

    Within 60 days after notice of an initial, reopened or supplemental claim, a Florida residential insurer must pay or deny it, or a portion of it, and give a reasonable written explanation of the basis in the policy. If it pays less than its own detailed estimate, it must explain the difference in writing (s. 627.70131(7)(a), Fla. Stat.).

  2. 2

    Ask for the adjuster’s detailed estimate

    The insurer must send you any detailed estimate within 7 days after its adjuster generates it (s. 627.70131(3)(e)). Compare it room by room with the damage.

  3. 3

    Read the exact policy language cited

    Look up the exclusion or condition named in the letter, plus your declarations page and endorsements: hurricane deductible, roof settlement terms, water damage limits.

  4. 4

    Watch the Florida notice deadlines

    Notice of a new or reopened claim is due within 1 year after the date of loss, and a supplemental claim within 18 months (s. 627.70132, as amended through 2024). For weather events, the date of loss is the landfall or NOAA-verified date. Lawsuit deadlines are separate.

  5. 5

    Use the policy’s appraisal clause or DFS mediation

    If the dispute is about the amount of loss and your policy has an appraisal clause, appraisal may apply. Florida’s DFS mediation program (s. 627.7015) is available for many residential disputes.

Olympus claim FAQ

Olympus’s estimate is much lower than my contractor’s. What now?

Ask Olympus in writing for its detailed estimate and an explanation of the difference, then compare the two line by line: quantities, materials, labor, code items and overhead. Under s. 627.70131(7)(a), Florida Statutes, an insurer that pays less than its own detailed estimate must explain the difference in writing.

Olympus closed my claim. Can it be reopened?

Often, yes, if notice is given in time. Under s. 627.70132, Florida Statutes, notice of a reopened claim is due within 1 year after the date of loss and notice of a supplemental claim within 18 months. We can look at what was left out and whether a supplement makes sense.

How long do I have to reopen or supplement a Florida property claim?

Under s. 627.70132, Florida Statutes, notice of a new or reopened claim must be given within 1 year after the date of loss, and notice of a supplemental claim within 18 months after the date of loss. For hurricanes and other weather events, the date of loss is the landfall date or the date NOAA verifies the event. Lawsuit deadlines are separate; ask a Florida-licensed attorney about those.

Can you guarantee the insurer will change its decision?

No. No one can honestly guarantee an outcome. We review the file, tell you what we see, and represent you if it makes sense to work together. Every claim is different, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

What does the review cost?

The claim review is free, and asking questions doesn’t hire us. If it makes sense to work together, the fee and services are explained in a written agreement before you sign.
