Fort Lauderdale State Mediation Lawyer

If there is a dispute between the insurance company and the insured, one way to resolve it without litigation is to use state mediation. In some situations, the insured has the right to request mediation if he or she is not satisfied with the amount offered by the insurance company.

The state of Florida provides mediation for some categories of insurance claims. In state mediation, a neutral third party (the mediator) licensed by the state of Florida meets with the insurance company representative and the claimant to try to come to an agreement. Mediation is not legally binding and the parties can rescind any settlement made within 3 days as long as the check was not cashed. The mediator does not make a final decision but helps the parties resolve their dispute. However, too often, a policyholder will go into mediation without adequate preparation or training, while the insurance company’s representative comes with professional experience in mediation and negotiation.
