In July, Florida Insurance Consumer Advocate Sean Shaw hosted a roundtable to bring together members of the insurance industry and the home builders’ industry to discuss how disputed claim issues could be identified and resolved in a fair manner. During that meeting, the participants identified several issues as contributing to claim disputes and made recommendations to address each issue. In order to continue this important work, the Roundtable will meet again to finalize their recommendations. The Roundtable’s goal is to establish better communication and processes, so that in the future Florida homeowners can quickly get back into their homes after a loss, mitigate further damage to the property, hold down the cost of their claims and allow contractors to start repairs without delays.
