Florida Construction Insurance and Surety Law

In Florida, construction insurance and surety law is a specialized area that requires a deep understanding of insurance policies, surety bonds, and the specific risks associated with construction projects. Common insurance and surety issues in Florida construction projects include:

  • Insurance Coverage Disputes: Disputes between project owners, contractors, subcontractors, and insurers over the scope of coverage under various insurance policies, such as builder’s risk, general liability, and professional liability insurance. These disputes can arise due to ambiguities in policy language, exclusions, or disagreements over the cause of loss.
  • Surety Bond Claims: Claims made against surety bonds, such as performance bonds or payment bonds, when a contractor fails to perform their contractual obligations or fails to pay subcontractors or suppliers.
  • Bad Faith Insurance Claims: Claims against insurance companies for acting in bad faith, such as denying valid claims, delaying payment, or engaging in unfair claims practices.
  • Subrogation Claims: Claims made by insurance companies to recover payments made to their insured from a third party who is responsible for the loss.
