Hurricanes can leave devastating damage behind—roofs ripped off, water inside walls, and lives turned upside down. But what’s even more frustrating is when your insurance company offers far less than what you need to recover.
That’s exactly what one Florida homeowner faced after a major storm.
💨 The Initial Offer: Just $10,000
After submitting their hurricane damage claim, the homeowner received a lowball offer of $10,000 from their insurance carrier. That barely covered the roof repairs, let alone the interior water damage, structural issues, and personal property loss.
Feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, they reached out to Paul Gutjahr at Absolute Claims Advocates—a licensed public adjuster who’s handled thousands of storm-related claims across Florida.
🔍 What Paul Did Differently
Paul immediately stepped in and conducted a full damage assessment, using drone inspections, moisture mapping, and detailed estimates that the original insurance adjuster had completely missed. He also handled all communication with the insurance company, ensuring nothing was left out or misrepresented.
He dug deep into the homeowner’s policy and fought for every dollar they were entitled to.
💰 The Final Result: $75,000 Settlement
Thanks to Paul’s expertise, the final settlement came in at $75,000—over 7x more than the original offer. This allowed the homeowner to fully repair the home, replace damaged belongings, and finally move forward with peace of mind.
✅ Why Hiring a Public Adjuster Matters
When it comes to hurricane claims, insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. But with a public adjuster like Paul on your side, you don’t have to accept the first offer. We work for you—not the insurance company—to make sure you receive the maximum payout under your policy.
