Florida insurance laws
2 pro-consumer bills finally returning 1-way attorney fees to Florida homeowners are making their way through the House and Senate: Senate Bill 554 & House Bill 1551...And big insurance is doing everything in its means to stop them from becoming law.
From shady insurance defense law firms like The Monson Law Firm, LLC to organizations overrun by big insurance like the Florida Chamber of Commerce & their lobbyists like The Southern Group-Florida, the insurance industry media blitz is in full effect again...demonizing plaintiff's attorneys like me and blaming phantom frivolous lawsuits, which have proven to be false.
Please don't believe their propaganda this time.
When this law was repealed 2 years ago, everyone bought their lies and actually thought the property insurance industry was losing money in our state.
Florida homeowners were falsely promised that property insurance prices would "stabilize" or somehow go down if they got rid of it.
But here we are today —
Still the highest property insurance prices in the US.
A ridiculous 50% denial rate for hurricane property damage claims.
Diminished policy coverages for ALL new policies in our state...basically making them now worthless for folks.
And we're now "learning" for the first time that Florida property insurance companies were committing financial fraud...hiding billions in profits through their unregulated shell affiliate companies while all this was going on.
So let's do the right thing this time and enact pro-homeowner bills SB 554 & HB 1551...If not, it'll be more billion-dollar profits for big insurance at the expense of struggling Florida homeowners.
