Chapter:

PROPERTY INSURANCE CLAIMS

Overview

RULE:

69J-166.031

Mediation of Residential Property Insurance Claims

PURPOSE:

Mediation of claims for the 2004 and 2005 hurricanes have been governed by Rule 69J-2.003, F.A.C. There are few claims left to be mediated and therefore the need for a special process to mediate those claims is no longer needed. This amendment will modify Rule 69J-166.031, F.A.C. to handle those claims.

SUMMARY:

Under the proposed amendment mediations which would have been governed by Rule 69J-2.003, F.A.C. will be processed under Rule 69J-166.031, F.A.C. Insurers must provide notice of the right to mediate within five days of a first-party claim within the scope of the rule being filed.
