Civil remedies are procedures and sanctions, specified by civil stat- utes and regulations, used to prevent or reduce criminal problems and incivilities. Civil remedies generally aim to persuade or coerce non- offending third parties to take responsibility and action to prevent or end criminal or nuisance behavior.

“Notice of Claim: Written notice of claim must be given within 20 days after a covered loss starts or as soon as reasonably possible. The notice may be given to the insurer at its home office or to the insurer’s agent. Notice should include the name of the insured and the policy number.”

Public Adjusters Who Write Civil Remedy Notices Can Lose Their Licenses. Public adjusters cannot practice law. However, a public adjuster should not argue existing case law or statutes and make clear to the policyholder that an attorney may be needed if a dispute over coverage manifests itself.

Florida‟s “bad faith” law allows an insured person or someone who has been injured by an insured person to recover damages from an insurer for failing to settle a claim in good faith when the insurer could and should have done so.
