Florida consumers are beginning to see measurable results from the 2022–2023 legal reforms. As highlighted by @GovRonDeSantis, State Farm’s announced dividend, averaging $173 per vehicle follows additional rebates and rate reductions from @progressive, @USAA and @AAAnews.

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

Due to Florida’s legislative reforms, State Farm has announced a major dividend that will yield FL policyholders an average savings of $173 per vehicle on auto insurance.

This is on the heels of rebates and/or rate decreases by Progressive, USAA and AAA — all due to the FL reforms.

A new survey from Munich Re and the American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA) found a significant need to educate the public regarding the impacts of plaintiff’s attorneys’ tactics on every day costs.

TPLF is an extremely concerning trend in litigation that is turning courts into money-making machines for investors. APCIA applauds the @FLSenate Judiciary Committee for supporting SB 1276 as a way to protect consumers & increase transparency. https://t.co/5JL0Xp1ux4

[Florida Chamber @FLChamber]

Cole, Scott & Kissane (@csklegal) partners Aram Megerian and Scott Shelton discuss the impact of the historic reform packages passed over the last year to improve Florida's bottom-five legal climate. In taking a look back one year later, they importantly point out that while the reforms will take time to fully take hold, they are already having a positive impact on Florida's insurance market.

While most know to stock up on water, canned goods, and batteries in preparation for #HurricaneSeason, it’s also important to take steps to reduce the potential for damage to your property and review your insurance coverage, says APCIA's @LoganMcFaddin. https://t.co/OeInBEHjWC

[Personal Insurance Federation of Florida @PIFFNews]

SB 1002 closes avenues for auto glass fraud abused for years. The time & attention CFO @JimmyPatronis, Sen. @LindaStewartFL & Rep. @GriffGriffitts gave to this issue made all the difference & will result in relief for consumers who have been paying price for predatory lawsuits.

[fixthecracksfl @fixthecracksfl]

Today, the Florida Legislature passed SB 1002, which will fix the cracks in the state’s auto glass laws! Members of the @fixthecracksfl initiative praised efforts by lawmakers to protect consumers from predatory auto glass claims & litigation. Read more: https://t.co/jyyMh4oaxN

[Consumer Protection Coalition @CPC_FL]

Thank you to the bill sponsors, @SenStewart and @GriffGriffitts, for their leadership on this issue and their advocacy on behalf of Florida consumers, as well as to @Kathleen4SWFL and @Paul_Renner for their continued support in prioritizing lawsuit abuse reform this session. 2/2

[Consumer Protection Coalition @CPC_FL]

The CPC applauds the Florida Legislature on the passage of SB 1002, which builds on earlier AOB reform efforts by prohibiting the use of AOBs in auto insurance claims, and and protects Florida’s consumers from bad actors who have abused the system at their expense. 1/2

[fixthecracksfl @fixthecracksfl]

.@YourFLVoice and several Fix the Cracks partners discussed how auto glass fraud happens, red flags, how to report it, and why we're ALL paying for it.
Thank you for participating, @insurancecrime, @Insurance_Fraud and @PIFFNews!

@insurancecrime Be vigilant. Don't fall for gimmicks / inducements from vendors canvassing parking lots, & remember: if an offer to fix your windshield sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

@Insurance_Fraud @IASIUTweets @PIFFNews @CPC_FL @FLJusticeReform @NAMIC @TeamAPCIA @insurancecrime

[fixthecracksfl @fixthecracksfl]

In a Florida Record story on passage of SB 1002 from Senate, @YourFLVoice says: "While the consumer’s goal is to ensure their windshield is repaired & that they're driving safely, unscrupulous glass repair shops are knowingly committing insurance fraud.”
