This panel of Florida insurance experts—including both a defense and plaintiff attorney, a catastrophic loss adjuster, an engineer, and an insurance policy specialist—will help audience members understand current market dynamics in regard to underwriting, insurance adjusting, claims evaluation, and dispute resolution techniques.
Topics addressed in this session will include recent Senate bills, roof claims, assignment of benefits (AOB), damage assessments, filing deadlines, attorney fees, bad faith claims, licensing requirements for appraisers, and more.
