Insurance companies employ all sorts of tactics and false legal arguments hoping the contractors will accept pennies on the dollar or will just give up in pursuing payment on their invoice.

Our Miami Florida AOB lawyers are well versed in assignment law in Florida. It is longstanding Florida law that a policy holder has the legal right to assign benefits owed to them under an insurance policy to a contractor such as a  water remediation company, plumber, roofer  general contractor after a water, wind or fire loss occurs on their property. The insurance company cannot require the policy holder to obtain its consent or permission before doing so. The insurance policy contract is freely assignable post loss. Policy holders assign their rights in order to ensure prompt services are performed, in order to mitigate their damages and for the convenience of not having to deal with the insurance company directly. This post loss right to assign benefits and rights under the insurance policy has existed in Florida law since the 1900’s when the the Florida Supreme Court ruled  “that the provision in a policy relative to the consent of the insurer to the transfer of an interest therein does not apply to an assignment after loss.” West Florida Grocery v. Teutonia Fire Ins. Co.  However, insurance companies and their adjusters and lawyers will deny what the law actually is and will try to claim or interpret it differently. This is why it is important to have a Miami Florida AOB lawyer. A contractor, water restoration company, or plumber has the same right to receive payment and bring suit as did the homeowner who assigned those rights in the assignment of benefits (AOB). An Assignment of Benefits assigns the homeowner’s right to receive payment for work that a contractor performed and the right to sue the carrier if it fails to pay out the benefits. This holds true even if the policy contains a “anti-assignment” clause or “consent clause”. The Assignment of Benefits (AOB) does not assign the insurance policy itself to a contractor, merely the right to receive payment for the work that contractor performed. Many homeowners cannot afford or hire a contractor immediately following a water, fire, or wind loss to their home which is why an assignment of benefits ensures that a contractor will come mitigate the damages and ideally receive full payment from the carrier directly.  Of Course any and all duties  under of the policy holder are also assigned and apply to the contractor. These laws and arguments are tested daily in every case by the insurance companies which is why it is important to have a Miami Florida AOB lawyer on the case.
