Filing a claim with home insurance providers is something that many South Florida homeowners are reluctant to do. According to HomeInsurance.com, Florida ranks number 4 on the list of states that pay the highest insurance premiums so it is no secret as to why some homeowners are weary of putting in a claim.
Although Floridians pay some of the highest insurance premiums in the country, the trade off is that rates don’t rise significantly the year after filing a claim. According to the Sun Sentinel, Florida homeowners are subjected to a 3 percent increase which is much lower than the national average of 9 percent. Home owners in other states have paid increases over 30% after filing a claim.
You won’t have to worry about a huge rate increase after filing a claim but you unfortunately still have to deal with a self-serving insurance company.
