Your Claim, Our Fight

Insurance Isn’t on Your Side — We Are.

Flood claims are complex, slow-moving, and often underpaid. Whether your damage came from rising water, storm surge, or heavy rainfall, navigating flood insurance policies can be frustrating. We help Florida property owners handle flood claims from start to finish—and fight back when insurance companies don’t pay fairly.

Serving Florida, Georgia & New Jersey — local adjusters available near you.

Success Stories

“Words can not express how awesome Jason Newsom was when we needed him most!! Major water damage to our home. We felt overwhelmed but after I called Jason, all the stress was off of us. He took care of everything and made our insurance settle for enough to cover all of our damages! New floors going in today! Thank you so much!! I can’t express this enough… don’t deal with the insurance companies alone! You will not be sorry you called him!”

Lena M.

“We worked with David Reed at River City Claims after our house flooded, and I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done without him. The insurance company did a poor job with remediation and didn’t want to cover our floors even after they started swelling.

David came in, took control, and fought hard for us. He found more damage the insurance company missed—walls, floors, cabinets, and even mold. He brought in an amazing remediation team and an air-quality specialist to make sure everything was done right this time.

Without David, we would’ve been stressed, scared, and probably stuck with a house that wasn’t livable. Instead, he got the insurance company to pay for everything, and our home is actually better than it was before the flood.

If you’re dealing with an insurance claim, don’t go through it alone—call David Reed. He’s honest, relentless, and really knows how to get results.”

“Rob Woerner and his team did a fantastic job in helping us navigate claims with the insurance company. He recovered more money than we thought possible and he worked hard to make sure we got the most. We appreciate his hard work, ethical and the professional way of doing things.

We contacted him at a very sad time in our life. With a passing of our mother and her condominium, she had water damage that we were not aware of.

Rob came and assess the situation. Spent a lot of time talking to us about the process and went back for us against the insurance company.

I would recommend him highly on any job. In fact, I am sending him clients from people in my center of influence and we are very happy with his service!”

What Is a Public Adjuster?

A Public Adjuster is a licensed insurance professional who works exclusively for policyholders, not insurance companies.

We represent your best interests by:

  • Inspecting and documenting all damage thoroughly.
  • Reviewing your policy to uncover full coverage potential.
  • Preparing, submitting, and negotiating your claim.
  • Challenging underpaid or denied claims.

Hiring a public adjuster doesn’t raise your premium and is 100% legal in every state we serve. We only get paid when you do.
