This tort law has removed ALL accountability of proper repair standards within the collision repair industry of F.L. Insurers are now totally abusing this refinement by simply denying owed claims under habitual bad faith. Total loss abandonment has increased by 44% since March 23, and the use of alternative parts has tripled. Insurers are executing staff reductions by the thousands and no longer reporting out to review claims. response time averages from insurers prior to March 23 for the state was 14.8 days. Today that average is 62.3 DAYS! Consumers are at serious risk, and insurers have maintained strategic naivety amongst guys like Mr. Friedlander. FL Collision Associations are overwhelmed with applicants to overcome these manipulated reformats negatively impacting advocacy for consumers. 😥
Thanks for having me as a guest today, David. Great conversation on an important issue in Florida.
Thanks for the conversation. It's a year later and an update would be great!
