Insurance reform may already be DOA for 2019
Florida lawmakers have wrestled with ways to reform the “one-way” attorney fee provision in the state’s assignment-of-benefits (AOB) law since 2013 to no avail.
This year, Senate Business and Industry Committee Chairman Doug Broxson, R-Gulf Breeze, thought he’d found a way to address AOB reform by introducing Senate Bill 122, a relatively modest proposal to limit the “one-way” attorney fee provision only to homeowners rather than contractors and attorneys.
