The Proposed Rule Creates a Troubling Paradox: An expert opinion admissible under Daubert could still trigger professional discipline.

It is no secret within Florida’s property insurance industry that certain engineering firms like SDII Global Corporation who exclusively perform work for insurance carriers. These firms are routinely retained by insurance carriers in storm-related claims, frequently issue opinions minimizing or denying storm causation. Now they have sucessfully lobbied FBPE to enact changes that would benefit the insurance industry.

The rule dramatically and arbitrarily increases the scope, cost, and procedural requirements for storm-damage evaluations, as I will explain further below. The practical effect? The Insured's engineers will face substantial regulatory burdens, which transaltes to higher costs for homeowners and their representatives. Meanwhile Homeowner insurance companies will gladdly spend more per Engineer Report if it means that fewer Homeowner's advocates can justify the additional expenses on thier moderate value claims.

Insurance companies are not charities. They are for-profit businesses, many of them publicly traded with shareholders to satisfy. Their legal duty is to their owners and investors—not to altruism. Understanding this reality helps explain why so many legitimate homeowners insurance claims are contested rather than promptly and fully paid.

Why So Many Homeowners Insurance Claims Are Denied, Underpaid, or Delayed

State Farm has been ordered to release documents in a lawsuit accusing the insurance giant of underpaying hail claims.

Attorneys said State Farm has repeatedly withheld court-ordered discovery tied to its internal underwriting and claims practices.

The judge had ordered the documents released months ago, but State Farm instead filed a series of motions that delayed the case.

If Citizens Property Insurance denied your claim, underpaid you, or sent a confusing letter limiting your coverage, it’s frustrating—but it’s not the end of the road.

Citizens plays by a different set of rules than private insurance companies. To get a "Yes," you just need a different strategy. Here is how we navigate it together.

Dr. King stood for the simple but powerful idea that every person deserves dignity, equal treatment under the law, and a fair chance at opportunity. He believed that lasting change does not come from hatred or violence, but from moral courage, peaceful action, and respect for the rule of law.

One of his most enduring reminders still resonates today:

“𝐼𝓃𝒿𝓊𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒸𝑒 𝒶𝓃𝓎𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒾𝓈 𝒶 𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉 𝓉𝑜 𝒿𝓊𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒸𝑒 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒.”

Dr. King taught us that knowing your rights matters — but so does standing up for what is right, even when it is uncomfortable. He showed that progress is achieved through non-violence, discipline, and faith in the legal and democratic process, not through fear or force. Real change, he believed, comes when morality, law, and civic engagement move together.

On this day, we also remember the many civil rights heroes and martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the pursuit of equality and justice. People who believed that America could live up to its highest ideals.

May we honor their legacy not just in words, but in action: by treating one another with respect, defending justice peacefully, and continuing the work of building a more fair and united society.

Dr. King’s dream lives on in our laws, our communities, and our daily choices.

A denial does not automatically mean your insurance company is correct.

Homeowners in Orlando and Central Florida frequently face denied or underpaid insurance claims after hurricanes, severe storms, water losses, and roof damage. While receiving a denial letter from your insurance company can feel final, Florida law provides homeowners with important rights—and strict deadlines—that must be followed to preserve a claim.

Today marks one year since I opened The Law Office of Jesse Diaz, “The Hurriclaim Firm” and I couldn’t be more grateful. What started as a big leap of faith has turned into an incredibly rewarding first year, and I’m truly thankful for everyone who has supported me along the way.

In just our first year, we’ve been able to recover well over one million dollars for our clients—something I don’t take lightly. Knowing that most small businesses don’t make it past their first year makes this milestone even more meaningful. I feel truly blessed and grateful for the opportunity to do work that helps people during some of their most difficult moments, and I’m excited to do even more for our clients in the year ahead.

A huge thank you to my wife Carley for her constant love and encouragement, to my friends and family for always believing in me, and to my amazing assistant, Maria Rojas, for everything she does day in and day out. I honestly couldn’t do this without you.

To all the clients and friends I’ve had the privilege of helping this past year—thank you for trusting me. If we’ve worked together and you feel comfortable doing so, I’d really appreciate you leaving a review. It helps us reach and help even more people who need legal guidance.

I’m excited for what’s ahead and committed to continuing to serve our community with care, integrity, and dedication. Thank you for being part of this journey—here’s to many more years tome!
