AOB Sally Claims: Get Paid Fairly in the Face of HB7065 & SB76

Jun 29, 2021

Two years after HB7065, Florida’s assignment of benefits reform, Florida insurers are still clamping down on AOB claims statewide as well, including Hurricane Sally claims. ILG’s water-mitigation companies, GCs, roofers, electricians and plumbers are expected to remain challenged with the recent passage of SB76, becoming effective July 1st.

Our AOB clients are already having their claims derailed by the property insurers, citing the HB7065’s stricter limits and procedures, as well as denying and underpaying claims based on paperwork and procedural issues.

Now, the SB76 Property Package legislation will throw up additional hurdles for AOBs including:

  1. Preventing contractors from soliciting homeowners directly.
  2. Limiting attorney’s fees in cases where they represent homeowners and AOBs.
  3. Reducing the time to file claims from three to two years, with an additional year to file supplemental claims.

Insurance Litigation Group has been representing AOB contractors in Florida for more than 15 years, getting them paid fairly for their hard work and materials. This includes our work in the panhandle with Hurricanes Michael and Sally.
