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.
