Getting a head start on the legislative process, Florida Insurance Consumer Advocate Sean Shaw today delivered a report to legislative leadership detailing his recommendations for more efficient claims resolution in the property insurance market. Shaw noted that the recommendations evolved from the two property insurance roundtables he held in recent months.

The recommendations include additional education for insurance adjusters; open communication and transparency in the claims handling processes; standards for the appraisal process along with licensure of property appraisers; licensure of umpires and an impartial selection process for umpires; and the ability to purchase comprehensive insurance policies.

The 2010 Florida legislative session convenes tomorrow, March 2.
