First-party property disputes are at the heart of Florida's insurance landscape. With the evolving statutory framework following the 2022-2023 reforms, parties need a neutral who understands the current case law, market dynamics, and the technical realities of property loss adjustment.

A Panel With Both-Sides Experience
Our neutrals bring decades of experience representing carriers, policyholders, and the public adjusters who serve them. That balanced perspective is critical in first-party matters, where the technical evidence and the policy language often point in different directions.
Several of our mediators have served as Chief Litigation Counsel for major Florida property insurers, while others have built their careers representing policyholders against those same carriers. The result is a panel that can credibly engage either side of a first-party claim.
The Post-Reform Environment
Following the landmark reforms that curtailed one-way attorney fees and assignment of benefits, the volume of first-party litigation has dropped, but the complexity of the remaining cases has increased significantly. The claims reaching mediation today are typically larger, involve more sophisticated coverage questions, and require neutrals who are fluent in the post-reform statutory framework.
