Florida vehicle claims: guidance and practical terms

Florida DFS describes voluntary, pre-suit automobile mediation for disputes with your own insurer or another party’s insurer. A neutral mediator helps the parties discuss resolution; mediation is not an independent damage estimate.

The automobile program covers property-damage disputes in any amount and bodily-injury disputes up to $10,000. For first-party matters, policy mediation terms also apply. Review the automobile section specifically, not the separate residential-property program.

Keep the insurer’s position, repair scope and supporting evidence organized before considering the program. An estimate inquiry neither requests mediation nor promises a settlement.

Choose the service and evidence for your asset

Send unit identification, current location, damage photographs and the requested scope. Supplements need the baseline estimate and evidence for added operations; desk review needs specific questions.

Heavy trucks, trailers, agricultural or construction equipment, ATVs, boats and aircraft require asset-specific scope and fee confirmation. Auto rules do not automatically govern these assets. Estimating is not a safety, seaworthiness or airworthiness certification.

Estimating, policy appraisal and property valuation are distinct

A damage estimate does not appoint an appraisal-clause appraiser, umpire or adjuster. These roles have separate requirements. We do not decide coverage or guarantee payment.

Home and mortgage valuations require separate credentials, lender ordering and any applicable appraisal-management compliance. This page does not confirm an available real estate provider network.
