How to Make a Complaint Against an Insurance Company (2020)
How do you make a complaint against an insurance company? Here, I am going to answer this question and much more. You’ll hear about my many experiences with the Florida Department of Insurance.
As a lawyer with over $8 million in personal injury settlements, I’ve dealt with about 50 different insurance companies. Additionally, I’ve communicated with over 1,000 claim adjusters. This includes auto insurance adjusters, general liability insurers (for accidents at hotels, restaurants, malls and more), long term disability insurers, health insurance companies, and more.
Many insurance companies are responsive. However, most still make low settlement offers. A few insurers are fair.
Unfortunately, many insurance companies are not reasonable. In addition, personal injury cases don’t settle overnight. The last thing you want is an additional delay by the insurance company.
If an insurance company is not giving you the time of day, you can file a consumer complaint. It is also known as a “request for insurance assistance.” I have had to file my fair share of consumer complaints with the department of financial regulation.

[Read more…]Does Lyft Have Uninsured Motorist Coverage?
Breaking News: For accidents starting on March 30, 2020, Lyft’s certificate of liability insurance shows no uninsured motorist coverage.
I’m talking about accidents in Florida. The acronyms UM/UIM (uninsured/underinsured motorist) are no longer on Lyft’s Florida certificate of liability insurance.
This will greatly affect many Lyft drivers and passengers for accidents beginning March 30, 2020. Let me give you an example how.
A few years ago, I settled a Lyft passenger’s case for $70,000. If that accident happened today, he would have only gotten a $25,000. That’s a $45,000 loss! We’re talking about a huge drop in settlement value.
I don’t know what Lyft has done for other states for this time period. However, Lyft’s certificate of insurance is on its website.
