answered on Feb 3, 2023
That is a matter of the terms of agreement with the insurance company, and those terms are contained in the written policy. If the address listed for the vehicle is not the correct address, that most likely violates the policy, subjecting the policyholder to cancellation of the policy. So... Read more »

Without many facts—that is a very typical breakdown of a settlement disbursement in Florida for a car wreck case.
