Car Insurance Claim Dispute Palm Beach Florida FL

Reader’s Question:

A friend here in Palm Beach, Florida told me that if I want to go over arbitration with my car insurance company because of my insurance claim dispute, I need to check my insurance policy first regarding the list of organization who can arbitrate my claim. There’s nothing listed in my policy so how can I go on with the arbitration?

If you want to submit a Demand for Arbitration form regarding a claim dispute against your car insurance company in Palm Beach, Florida and there is nothing listed in your car insurance policy as to which organization to submit it to, you can submit that document to Florida department of insurance. You may also opt to send the Demand for Arbitration document to the offices of American Arbitration Association or AAA. Both of you and your car insurance company should agree to arbitration and remember that the rules here would be tougher. Moreover, the rulings in arbitration will be binding resolution.

In case you have an attorney who will represent you at an arbitration trial, you should tell your car insurance provider in advance. Your car insurance provider should tell you as well if an attorney would represent them in trial. Just like the procedures in court, both you and the car insurance company will be allowed to provide proofs that support your claims. Both parties could also bring in witnesses, who should agree to questioning by the other party and by the arbitrator. The arbitrator will have the authority to decide if you have the entitlement to be given any compensation under your car insurance policy and how much it would be. In case you and your insurer make a settlement on your own while in the course of arbitration, the arbitrator could decide that your settlement would be the resolution.
