Hurricane Irma Claims Filed Statewide – Including 83 Claims In Escambia County
September 22, 2017
In Hurricane Irma’s destructive wake, property insurance claims have been filed in all 67 Florida counties — including 83 damage claims filed in Escambia County.
The statewide claims range from a high of more than 55,000 claims in Miami-Dade County to half dozen in sparsely populated Liberty County, the state Office of Insurance Regulation reported Thursday.
Some 496,532 property insurance claims have been filed, representing just under $3.1 billion in potential losses caused by the hurricane.
Hurricane Irma struck the Florida Keys on Sept. 10 and then made a second landfall in Collier County, moving up the entire length of the state before exiting as a tropical storm on September 11. The insurance claims show the heaviest property losses appear to be in the southern portion of the state, where the storm was in its most powerful stages.
Of the 83 claims filed in Escambia County to date, 19 claims have been paid, five have been closed with no payment and 59 remain open.

83 claims in Escambia County? How in the heck does THAT happen? I hope the feds find some fraudulent claims and prosecute for them. There’s folks that actually NEED help and then you have the ones who just get in line for a freebie.
Some people who live here do business in south FL or own property there but filed from Escambia county. I have a neighbor who ran back to the house here to stay safe.
I’m curious about what damage Hurricane Irma caused in Escambia county. All I noticed was a beautiful change in temperature and a significantly decreased humidity.
