IN SHORT, THE PUBLIC RECORD
  • People's Trust Insurance Company (NAIC #13125) is a Florida homeowners carrier based in Deerfield Beach, writing since 2008 and selling direct to consumers.
  • It is built around a preferred-contractor model: an affiliated Rapid Response Team general contractor performs many covered repairs instead of paying the homeowner to hire their own.
  • Policies commonly include a Preferred Contractor Endorsement that can affect how a loss is settled and who does the work; read that endorsement before you agree to a scope.
  • Claims are reported through People's Trust directly; confirm the current number on peoplestrustinsurance.com before relying on it.
  • Its claim disputes track the Florida market plus repair-scope fights unique to the Rapid Response model: wear-and-tear roof denials, wind-driven-rain causation, and disputes over contractor scope and quality.

FAQ

People's Trust Insurance, common questions

What is the People's Trust Rapid Response Team?

People's Trust Insurance uses an affiliated general contractor, the Rapid Response Team, to perform many covered repairs directly rather than paying the homeowner to arrange their own contractor. Many policies carry a Preferred Contractor Endorsement tied to this model, which can change how a loss is valued and who controls the repair. Read that endorsement, and if you dispute the scope or quality of assigned repairs, request the full claim file and the policy basis in writing. Your claim is handled by, and paid from, People's Trust Insurance Company, NAIC #13125.

How do I report or dispute a People's Trust claim?

Report a claim through peoplestrustinsurance.com/policyholders/file-a-claim or the MyPTI portal; the claims line listed is 561-609-1002, but confirm the current number on their site. To dispute a decision or a repair scope, request the full claim file and the specific policy basis in writing. Florida offers free Department of Financial Services mediation for residential property claims, and most policies include an appraisal clause for amount-of-loss disputes. In Florida you generally have 1 year from the date of loss to give notice and 18 months for supplemental claims (§ 627.70132); confirm your dates with counsel.

Specifically, People's Trust's determination that the entirety of the covered damage to [name redacted] 's dwelling and other structures amounted to only $10,758.62 was grossly inaccurate and constituted an active effort by People's Trust to ignore evidence and minimize the claim value so People's Trust could avoid its obligation to pay [name redacted] the full and fair value of this claim.

Counts are filings naming the insurer, matched on NAIC code. They follow book size as much as behaviour: a carrier with more Florida policies collects more filings. Each is an allegation by a policyholder, not a finding.

Denied or underpaid? Fight it with the carriers’ own playbook.

LICENSED · SOUTH CAROLINALICENSED · FLORIDA

Halversen Law is a property-insurance law firm licensed in South Carolina and Florida that represents policyholders, never carriers. Since 2008, the firm has taken on denied, underpaid, and delayed claims across the full range of storm and property losses: wind and hurricane damage, water disputes, roof claims, and commercial and condominium losses. Its attorneys spent the early part of their careers defending insurance companies, and now use that inside knowledge of the carrier playbook, how an adjuster builds a denial and where the file is weak, to fight for the policyholder on the other side of it. Cases are handled on contingency: no fee unless you recover.
