“It’s About Justice”
The following is a summary of the litigation process as it pertains to first party insurance
claims. Should you have a dispute with your own insurance company and you are
forced to hire a lawyer to prosecute your claim, the insurance company is responsible for
your attorney’s fees if you prevail. With an assignment of benefits signed by your clients
you “stand in the shoes” of the insured. Therefore, when you have a dispute with your
client’s insurance company, you have a properly executed assignment and you prevail
on the claim the insurance company is responsible for your reasonable attorney’s fees.
Your company does a job for a homeowner. The total amount of the bill is $10,000.
The homeowners insurance company sends a check for $7,000. Now, you are forced
to hire us to prosecute your claim. We have a fee contract that provides entitlement to
attorney’s fees only if we prevail. The insurance company will be responsible to pay
your attorney’s fees when we settle the claim or receive a judgment. When we settle
the claim, the additional money goes directly to you. We do not take a portion of your
recovery. Our attorney’s fees are separate and distinct unless we have some agreement
to the contrary.
We represent companies just like yours all over Florida. We also represent health
care professionals, Doctors, and windshield replacement businesses in their first party
insurance claims. We have handled thousands and thousands of first party insurance
claims.
I have also enclosed Florida Statute 627.428 regarding attorney’s fees and the insurance
companies’ statutory obligation to pay our fees.
