A Florida attorney could advise best, as insurance practices are largely governed by state law. However, your question remains open for three weeks. As general principle, if you were presented with a written offer or proposal, that should be honored. However, in terms of changes, it could be... Read more »

There are good and bad insurance companies, and the bad ones routinely deny valid claims and/or are extremely stingy because they figure their resulting higher profits will outweigh the losses caused by lawsuits. When an insurance company has no rational basis for its denial or stingy offer,... Read more »

Check your insurance policy. The terms of the policy determine if you have coverage for a rental or not.

Only a Florida attorney could advise as to the limitation you mention, as it could involve state-specific law. But your question remains open for four weeks. As to the other more general legal issue you raise about warranting punitive damages, that is often up to the discretion of the court in many... Read more »

It seems odd that a mere spelling error on the insurance paperwork should prevent you from getting medical care for your child. If the child needs medical attention, ask the medical provider to contact the insurer and get the care pre-approved.

A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. For this type of matter, an attorney could require a dental/oral surgery professional's opinion in terms of the impact of the delays. That's why the question is difficult to answer. You could reach out to... Read more »
When u call insurance companies, they say we have to pay more for more coverage. Online it says it should already be covered. Feel like insurance company is lying. Pls clarify.

It would depend on the terms of the policy. If the insurance company tells you that they would charge more for a policy that covers solar panel systems, they can certainly do that. Whatever you read on the Internet was probably a general statement and not about any specific policy.

My deceased father made his sister a successor on his life insurance and I was a minor at the time of his death. I want to know did the agent have rights to release my portion of the money to my half brother who gained guardianship of me, being that my Aunt was the successor.
answered on Jan 22, 2022
Have you contacted the life insurance company? Was a guardianship opened on your behalf? If so, money was probably released into the guardianship account. I would need more information to give a proper answer.

When you apply for insurance, attach a copy of the admission from GEICO that it is a duplicate claim and that it "can not be removed" from the system.

Are you saying you can't pick up a phone, call a Florida insurance broker, and get Florida insurance? That is very doubtful. In any event, I don't believe it will be suspended before you return to Florida.
