Florida State of Emergency After Severe Weather

The new law is designed to improve the claims process for homeowners, making it more transparent and fair, while also providing them with better tools and protections when filing claims after a disaster. Under this legislation, insurance companies are required to act more promptly and fairly in processing claims, with clear timelines for how quickly claims should be addressed and resolved. This aims to reduce the delays that have often added to the financial strain many Floridians face after a natural disaster.

Claims that end up in court are much more expensive than those that are settled without a lawsuit.
