Before a property insurance lawsuit can proceed in Florida, claimants must file a Pre-suit Intent to Initiate Litigation (PIITIL) notice with the Department of Financial Services.

What This Means for Policyholders
If your property insurance claim has been denied or underpaid, you are not alone. The data shows that carrier denials are widespread and systematic — particularly with wind and water damage claims. Florida law requires carriers to handle claims in good faith, and when they don't, policyholders have the right to pursue legal action.
