Fire Damage

Fire damage remains a significant concern for homeowners in Florida, leading to numerous insurance claims each year. While exact annual statistics on the number of fire damage claims filed and their rejection rates are not readily available, we can glean insights from related data.

In 2020, Florida experienced 57,481 fires, resulting in property losses totaling over $586 million.

This substantial figure underscores the prevalence and financial impact of fire-related incidents in the state.

Nationally, approximately 1 in 425 insured homes file a property damage claim related to fire and lightning.

Given Florida’s unique susceptibility to fires, especially during wildfire seasons, it’s reasonable to infer that the state’s figures may be higher.

However, Floridians often face challenges when seeking compensation for fire damage. Studies indicate that, on average, 44.7% of homeowner claims in Florida are closed without payment, significantly higher than the national average.

Common reasons for claim denials include missed deadlines, policy lapses due to unpaid premiums, and disputes over coverage applicability.
