My claim was denied
A denial does not always mean the fight is over. Charter Claims can review the denial, inspect the damage, and look for what may have been missed.
Review a Denied ClaimPublic Adjusters for Homeowners & Property Owners
If your property was damaged, denied, delayed, or underpaid, Charter Claims fights for policyholders — not insurance companies — to help document the damage, challenge low estimates, and pursue the money you are owed.
Claim situation
Insurance companies have teams working to protect their bottom line. If any of these situations sound familiar, it is time to get someone on your side.
A denial does not always mean the fight is over. Charter Claims can review the denial, inspect the damage, and look for what may have been missed.
Review a Denied ClaimIf the check does not come close to covering the repairs, do not accept it blindly. We can review the estimate and look for missing or undervalued damage.
Check an Underpaid ClaimThe way a claim is documented from the beginning can affect the outcome. We help you start with stronger documentation and a clearer claim strategy.
Start a New ClaimDifferent losses require different proof. Charter Claims helps document the damage and push back when the insurance company misses the full scope.

Claims we handle
Insurance companies may miss damage, undervalue repairs, or leave important items out of the estimate.
Hurricanes can cause roof, wind, water, and structural damage that insurance companies may undervalue or overlook.
Roof damage is often disputed, minimized, or misclassified. We inspect the damage and review the full repair scope.
Leaks, burst pipes, storm intrusion, and hidden moisture can become expensive fast if the full damage is not documented.
Fire losses can involve structural damage, smoke, soot, water from firefighting, contents, and complex repairs.
Storm damage is not always obvious from the ground. We help identify and document damage the carrier may have missed.
If your claim was denied, paid too low, or needs a supplement, Charter Claims can review the file and help pursue additional money.
Commercial claims
For business owners, property managers, commercial property owners, and multifamily properties, claim mistakes can affect operations, tenants, income, and long-term property value.

Charter Claims brings insurance claim handling experience, public adjusting expertise, and policyholder advocacy to residential and commercial property claims. Our job is to help document the loss, review the insurance estimate, and push back when the carrier’s answer does not reflect the full damage.

Client story
Hear directly from a policyholder about what it was like dealing with the claim, the insurance company’s position, and Charter Claims negotiating on her behalf.
“After Hurricane Ian, my insurance company reviewed the damages and wanted me to settle. A check was presented that barely covered only 1/4 of the damaged expenses. Charter Claims inspected my insurance claim and found many mistakes that were missed by the insurance company. They handled my entire case and got me all the money that was due to me for the repairs.”— Don
“The insurance company really tried to undervalue my claim. I spoke to Clint and he was able to get my claim processed and I couldn’t be happier. I will use him in the future with any claims I have.”— Michael
Claim examples
Every claim is different, but these examples show why documentation, estimate review, and policyholder advocacy matter.
A vehicle caught fire in the garage while the homeowner was away. Firefighters had to break through the front door and use water to extinguish the fire, which spread into the kitchen and caused smoke damage in the main living area.
Insurance company estimate: $90,770
Final negotiated settlement: $179,120
Result: More than $88,000 above the insurance company’s estimate.
A seasonal condo owner suffered water damage after a dishwasher part failed in the upstairs unit, damaging ceilings, walls, cabinetry, and personal property. After liability disputes and a denial based on alleged delayed filing, Charter Claims was engaged.
Result: Settlement negotiated with release within 90 days.
A medical-related business suffered Hurricane Milton wind damage causing a total roof loss, AC system damage, and damage to expensive electronic equipment, furnishings, and business personal property.
Carrier initial valuation: $182,399
