Clearwater's Trusted Public Adjusting Firm

A public adjuster is a licensed insurance professional who represents policyholders — not insurance companies — in property damage claims. In Clearwater, Care Claims public adjusters inspect your damage, document every detail, prepare professional estimates, and negotiate directly with your insurance carrier to secure the full, fair settlement you're owed. Unlike your carrier's adjuster who works for the insurance company, a public adjuster works exclusively for you.

Care Claims works on a contingency-fee basis of 10-20% of the settlement amount. There are zero upfront costs. If we don't recover money for your Clearwater property claim, you don't pay. This fee structure is regulated by the Florida Department of Financial Services and ensures our interests are fully aligned with yours — we only get paid when you get paid.

Yes. Clearwater Beach and the barrier islands have extensive waterfront condominiums and beach properties with unique insurance challenges. Care Claims adjusters understand the complexities of condo association master policies versus individual HO-6 policies, wind-only versus multi-peril coverage, and the flood zone distinctions (A, AE, V zones) that affect coverage throughout Clearwater and Pinellas County. We document saltwater intrusion, wind-driven rain, and storm surge damage to secure a full, fair recovery.

Yes. Claim denials are common in Clearwater, especially after hurricanes when carriers look for reasons to reduce exposure across Pinellas County's densely populated coast. Care Claims specializes in overturning denied and underpaid claims through evidence-based appeals, re-inspections, and aggressive carrier negotiation. We review your denial letter, identify the weaknesses in the carrier's position, and build a documented case to reverse the decision. Our approval rate on represented claims is 92%.

Simple property damage claims in Clearwater typically resolve in 30-60 days. More complex claims involving hurricane damage, flood losses, condo disputes, or carrier backlogs can take 90-180 days. After major storms, Pinellas County's extreme population density creates carrier backlogs that slow processing — having a public adjuster ensures your claim gets prioritized attention. Our ClaimPilot platform keeps you updated on every milestone.

ClaimPilot is Care Claims' proprietary claims management platform that gives Clearwater policyholders real-time visibility into their claim. Through ClaimPilot, you can track damage documentation with timestamped photos, monitor negotiation milestones, view carrier responses, communicate directly with your adjuster via SMS and email, and review settlement offers — all from one secure portal. It replaces the guesswork and phone tag of traditional public adjusting with transparent, trackable progress.
