Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to report a property insurance claim in Florida?
1 year after the date of loss for a new or reopened claim, and 18 months for a supplemental claim (section 627.70132). For a hurricane, the date of loss is the date it made landfall.
How long does my insurer have to pay or deny a claim?
60 days after it receives notice of the claim, unless factors beyond its control prevent it (section 627.70131(7)).
What is a civil remedy notice?
A written notice on a Department of Financial Services form that must be filed 60 days before a bad-faith lawsuit under section 624.155. No suit lies if the insurer pays or corrects the problem within those 60 days.
How long do I have to sue my insurance company?
5 years from the date of loss for breach of a property insurance contract (section 95.11(2)(e)), but the claim itself must first be reported within 1 year.
