Many Florida homeowners assume they have only two choices when a property insurance claim becomes a dispute: accept the insurer's position or file a lawsuit.
There's another option.
Mediation is a confidential process where the homeowner and the insurance company meet with a neutral mediator to discuss the issues, evaluate the information, and explore whether a resolution is possible.
Property insurance disputes can arise for many reasons. Sometimes it's a question of coverage. Sometimes it's the scope of the damage, the cost of repairs, or delays in processing a claim. The disagreement may involve hurricane, wind, water, roof, or other property damage.
A mediator doesn't decide who is right or wrong. The mediator doesn't interpret the policy or impose a settlement. Instead, the mediator helps both parties have a productive conversation and, when possible, reach their own agreement.
Not every case settles in mediation, and not every dispute is appropriate for mediation. But for many homeowners and insurers, it offers an opportunity to resolve a claim more quickly and with less expense than litigation.
