Frontline Insurance Public Adjuster. FL Claim Help.

Frontline Insurance is a Florida-domestic carrier active in Florida's property insurance market. This profile covers how they handle claims, common issues policyholders report, and what to know when you file.

On these facts it takes itself apart. The policy requires reasonable steps to protect the property from further damage. Reasonable, judged in the moment, with the resources available after a storm. That is not a failure to mitigate. That is the textbook example of mitigation, performed personally. Second, and this is the piece almost nobody knows: failure to mitigate is not a claim killer even when it is true. It is an affirmative defense, the carrier carries the burden on it, and at most it bars the additional damage that the failure caused. It does not void the original storm damage. A blanket denial of the whole claim on mitigation grounds is not a legal position, it is a form letter. So I request the claim notes and the call log under 627.70131. The response letter I send is short. Here are the dated photographs. Here are the receipts. Please identify the specific additional damage you contend resulted from a failure to mitigate. Then I stop writing and let them answer.

First: get an attorney. I am a public adjuster, not a lawyer, and an EUO is sworn testimony under a policy condition with legal consequences. Anyone in my business who tells you that you do not need counsel for an EUO is doing you a disservice. An EUO is a condition in your policy. The carrier has a contractual right to examine you under oath about the claim, and your obligation to submit is a condition of coverage. It is not an accusation, it is not a deposition in a lawsuit. That said, refusing to attend is genuinely dangerous. Failing to submit to an EUO can be treated as a material breach of the policy, and I have seen that end perfectly good claims. So the answer is never to avoid it. The answer is to prepare for it. Mistakes people make in the chair. Guessing. Somebody asks how old the roof is and the answer comes out about twelve years, I think, and eleven months later that guess is on a page next to a permit that says nine. I do not know and I do not recall are complete, honest, acceptable answers. People lose claims by guessing. Volunteering. Answer the question that was asked, then stop. The silence after your answer is a technique. Let it sit there. Estimating dollar amounts off the top of your head. That is my job. Refer to the documents. Ask for the transcript or recording.
