As educational orientation — not legal advice — Florida property policies commonly expect notice of a new or reopened claim within about one year of the date of loss, and many supplemental claims face an 18-month window. Exact deadlines depend on your policy language, claim type, and facts. If you are unsure whether your Pensacola file is still open, bring the policy and carrier letters to a free review at (239) 444-8101.

Florida law caps public adjuster contingency fees in most property claims at 20% of the amount paid by the insurer under the policy.

Ask for fees and services in writing before you sign — a free review does not create a fee.
