Slide Insurance claims in Florida

Slide Insurance is a Tampa-based Florida insurance technology company founded in 2021. Slide grew rapidly through Citizens depopulation programs and writes a large coastal-Florida book. Slide's brand emphasizes "AI-driven" underwriting and claim handling — meaning carrier-side scope is built on drone imagery, satellite analysis, and computer-vision models.

Why Slide claims often need a public adjuster

Slide's tech-forward claim handling produces:

  • Computer-vision scope: drone + AI estimates the carrier scope. Policyholders need an independent human Xactimate scope to counter.
  • Faster initial payments (ACV) but tighter scope tolerance afterward.
  • Citizens depopulation friction: many Slide policies were assumed from Citizens — claims with date-of-loss before transfer require careful policy-stacking analysis.
  • Aggressive cause-of-loss documentation: Slide collects extensive photo / video evidence at first inspection. Don't let the carrier's documentation be the only record.

What Slide looks at first

  • Drone aerial imagery (often pre-loss + post-loss)
  • Computer-vision scope output
  • Date of loss vs. policy effective date (depopulation timing)
  • Roof condition assessment (age, prior repairs, maintenance)

Frequently Asked Questions — Slide Claims

What makes Slide claims different from older Florida carriers?

Slide is tech-forward — drone imagery, AI scope, faster initial decisions. The downside for policyholders: the carrier's scope is generated by computer-vision models that systematically miss interior, hidden, and code-upgrade items. A public adjuster's human Xactimate scope captures what the AI misses.

My policy was transferred from Citizens to Slide. Which contract applies?

The contract in force at the date of loss governs. If your loss occurred under a Citizens policy that was later transferred to Slide, the Citizens policy form controls coverage on that loss — even if Slide is now servicing it. Document the date of loss vs. the transfer effective date carefully.

Can I dispute Slide's drone-imagery scope?

Yes. Drone imagery captures roof exterior — it does not capture interior damage, code-upgrade requirements, structural framing, sheathing rot, decking rot, underlayment, or attic damage. A public adjuster's onsite Xactimate scope adds these items.

How does Slide pay claims — ACV or RCV?

Slide typically pays ACV (actual cash value) initially; RCV (replacement cost value) holdback is released as repairs are documented and invoiced. Don't accept ACV as final — file the RCV release once repairs are complete.

Does Slide honor the Florida matching statute?

FL Statute 626.9744 requires matching replacement when partial repair leaves mismatched components on continuous surfaces. Slide disputes match routinely on roof and exterior claims. A public adjuster documents the continuous surface and the surrounding undamaged components to invoke the statute.

What is Slide's hurricane deductible?

Slide hurricane deductibles are typically 2%–5% of Coverage A, selected at policy issuance, applied per calendar year (FL Statute 627.701(5)(a)).

Can a public adjuster invoke appraisal on a Slide claim?

Yes — Slide policies contain a standard appraisal clause. Each side picks an appraiser; the two appraisers select a neutral umpire; the umpire's signed award is binding on amount (not coverage).

How much does it cost to hire a public adjuster for a Slide claim?

Contingency 10–20% of additional recovery — capped at 10% in year one for declared-emergency claims (FL Statute 626.854(11)). No upfront fees. No fee if there's no recovery.
