Claim Number
The unique identifier the carrier assigns your claim.
Provided at FNOL. Every subsequent communication, document, and correspondence should reference this number.
In practice
Where you encounter "Claim Number" in Florida claims
Policyholders see "Claim Number" referenced in policy language, claim correspondence, and carrier scope of loss documents. Knowing the precise definition under Florida practice keeps you from accepting carrier framing. See also FS 626.854 on Public Adjuster licensing and FS 627.70131 on carrier duties.
