Lee County Public Adjuster
Licensed, local, and relentlessly on your side, proving the full value of insurance claims across Lee County, Florida.
Lee County is the epicenter of Florida’s most expensive recent storm and is still working through it. The county wraps Charlotte Harbor and the Caloosahatchee River and includes the barrier islands of Sanibel, Captiva, Estero and Fort Myers Beach, plus Cape Coral, whose four hundred miles of canals make it one of the most water-adjacent cities in the country.
When disaster strikes in Lee County, the insurance company’s adjuster works for the insurance company. Adjusterman works only for you: a Florida-licensed public adjusting firm (FL DFS License #P151443) representing property owners throughout Lee County and the wider Southwest Florida.
Ground zero for Hurricane Ian, Lee County property owners in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and the barrier islands are still recovering, and many claims were badly underpaid the first time.
Hurricane and storm history in Lee County
Hurricane Ian made landfall at Cayo Costa on September 28, 2022 as a high-end Category 4 with catastrophic storm surge, destroying much of Fort Myers Beach, severing the Sanibel Causeway and flooding tens of thousands of homes across the county. Hurricane Charley had crossed the same coastline on August 13, 2004, and Hurricane Irma passed through in September 2017. Ian remains the defining event, and years later a large share of Lee County claims are supplemental or reopened rather than new.

How Lee County is built, and why it changes your claim
Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres are enormous mid-century platted subdivisions, which means block homes with aging roofs on canal or freshwater lots. The barrier islands mix pre-code ground-level cottages with newer elevated construction, and after Ian, substantial-damage and fifty-percent-rule determinations are entangled with nearly every rebuild.
What carriers argue in Lee County
Ian claims are where Lee County owners lose the most money, and it is almost always the same mechanism. Surge and wind arrived within hours of each other, the carrier attributed the loss to flood, the flood policy paid its limit, and the wind portion was never scoped at all. Reopening those files with a proper wind analysis is the single most productive thing a Lee County owner can do.
Why Lee County property owners choose Adjusterman
A lowball offer or a wrongful denial costs Lee County owners real money. We level the field: an independent, professional scope of your loss, aggressive negotiation with the carrier, and no fee unless we recover for you. New claim, underpaid claim, or denial: it’s rarely too late for a second, independent look.

Lee County claim questions
My Hurricane Ian claim was closed and paid years ago. Can it still be reopened?
Often, yes. A claim that was closed is not the same as a claim that was paid correctly, and supplemental and reopened claims are a normal part of Florida property insurance. Deadlines run from the date of loss and they do expire, so the honest answer is that it depends on your dates. Send us what you have and we will tell you for free whether there is still time.
