Recent changes in Florida law have significantly impacted homeowners seeking justice against insurance companies. Prior to 2023, Florida Statute Chapter 627.428 allowed homeowners to recover attorney’s fees if they won their case or settled with an insurer. However, following claims by insurance companies that excessive legal fees were harming their business, the Florida Legislature and Governor eliminated this right. As a result, homeowners must now be more strategic when pursuing their claims.
