[CLC-Discussion] Assignment of Benefits Matter, Part Two

[Bruce Partington]

My guess would be that this is the "managed repair arrangement provided in the policy" in the new 627.7152(5) which very likely slipped under the radar....

Subject: [CLC-Discussion] Assignment of Benefits Matter, Part Two

Good morning, colleagues,

It appears that the assignment of insurance benefits matter has morphed beyond the passage of House Bill 7065 (Florida Statute Section 627.7152), with all its attendant construction contract drafting problems. Yesterday, one of my clients, a roofing contractor, advised that it discovered that two apparently unaffiliated property insurance companies have placed a provision in their policies that requires its insured property owner to use a contractor approved by the carrier. Upon further inquiry, my client determined that the contractor mandated by one of the carriers was a national company. Of course my thoughts immediately turned negative, thinking of conspiracy and restraint of trade implications.

Have any of you encountered any of these issues, and if so, do you have any thoughts and suggestions?

I look forward to your usually inciteful responses and wish all of you a happy Fourth of July holiday.

Best regards,

Alan
