How We Help With Insurance Disputes

At Aaron R. Coven Law Firm, we understand the challenges you face after a insurance disputes. Our team is dedicated to fighting for your rights and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. Fight underpayment or wrongful denial of PIP, UM, BI, and other Florida policies—policy interpretation, proof-of-loss packages, and litigation when carriers refuse fair treatment.

Quick Florida Answer

Insurance disputes arise when carriers delay, underpay, or deny valid first-party or third-party benefits—UM, PIP, property, or liability coverage. Success depends on policy language, timely proof of loss, appraisal or mediation clauses, and, when appropriate, bad-faith or declaratory judgment actions under Florida law.

Palm Beach County & Florida context

Hurricane and water-damage fights aside, injury clients in South and Central Florida frequently battle PIP examinations, UM stacking questions, and low bodily-injury offers that ignore future care. We align medical and billing records with policy definitions so carriers cannot hide behind vague exclusions.

Typical claim timeline (general overview)

Every case differs; this is a simplified roadmap many Florida injury matters follow.

  1. 1

    Policy review

    Obtain the complete policy, declarations, endorsements, and any superseding amendments; map coverages, deductibles, and deadlines.

  2. 2

    Documentation package

    Submit organized proof of loss with narratives from treating providers, invoices, and wage verification tailored to the coverage at issue.

  3. 3

    Pre-suit negotiation

    Engage in appraisal, mediation, or statutory cure periods where required before filing suit.

  4. 4

    Litigation or regulatory escalation

    File breach-of-contract or bad-faith cases, or coordinate with DFS complaints when carriers act in bad faith—strategy depends on the record built below.

What often affects case value in Florida

  • Clarity of coverage grants versus ambiguous exclusion wording construed against the insurer
  • Timeliness of notice and cooperation with reasonable requests
  • Strength of expert or billing opinions supporting medical necessity
  • Documented lowball tactics or failure to investigate in good faith
  • Stacking or anti-stacking endorsements interpreted under controlling Florida precedent

Common Questions

What is insurance bad faith?

It generally describes an insurer’s failure to settle within policy limits when it should have, or unreasonable denial or delay without a proper basis—specific standards depend on first-party versus third-party context under Florida statutes and case law.

Can I sue my own insurer?

Yes, for breach of contract on first-party benefits you purchased, and in some circumstances for bad faith if statutory prerequisites are met.

What is a civil remedy notice?

Certain bad-faith claims against insurers in Florida require filing a civil remedy notice with the Department of Financial Services before litigation, giving the carrier time to cure.

Do I have to go through appraisal?

If your policy mandates appraisal for property disputes, skipping it can waive rights. Injury policies differ; language controls.

Will suing my insurer raise my rates?

Florida law limits certain surcharges for not-at-fault claims, but underwriting practices vary. Legal counsel can explain implications in your situation.
