It relates a phone conversation with Matt Morgan, partner with Morgan &amp; Morgan, one of the country\u2019s largest plaintiffs\u2019 firms. Morgan said that the Orlando-based firm will have filed 25,000 insurance-claim cases by this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe defendants won\u2019t initially be served but the carriers will be sent a letter demanding the policy limits,\u201d reads the email from Richard Cole, managing partner with Cole, Scott &amp; Kissane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insurance carriers will have five days to respond. If the policy limits are not tendered, full litigation will follow, Morgan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe call was cordial but direct,\u201d Cole noted in the email. \u201cFeel free to let your client carriers know of Morgan and Morgan\u2019s position and plans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"attachment_673129\" class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insurancejournal.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/John-Morgan-e1655983639625-259x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-673129\"\/><figcaption>John Morgan (Joe Burbank\/Orlando Sentinel via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>John Morgan, head of the firm, said Thursday in a statement to Insurance Journal: \u201cAt this moment we are doing what all lawyers should be doing \u2013 protecting the interests of our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: \u201cThere is no insurance crisis in Florida. Rates won\u2019t go down. They never have and never will. All tort reform this year should be titled \u2018F*** the People.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cole, reached by phone Thursday, said other plaintiffs\u2019 firms will likely take similar actions and the state could see as many as 100,000 suits filed by today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insurance groups agreed, noting that the flood of litigation gives urgency to the governor to sign\u00a0House Bill 837\u00a0as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI expect to see a tidal wave of suits filed by today, frankly,\u201d said Michael Carlson, president of the Personal Insurance Federation of Florida, which includes some of the largest property insurers in the state. \u201cThe trial bar knows that the governor could sign the bill by today, so they\u2019re trying to get these in before then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that an excessive number of lawsuits is exactly what HB 837 is designed to prevent going forward. Until the law has an impact, though, insurance carriers and county clerks of court will likely be swamped with work, Carlson and Cole predicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt will put a lot of stress on the whole system,\u201d Cole said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGiving five days to respond, and no settlement for less than the policy limits \u2013 that\u2019s just ridiculous,\u201d Carlson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others in the industry joined in the criticism of the claimants\u2019 lawyers\u2019 legal efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is the exact reason the state of Florida needs this tort reform bill. These opportunistic lawyers are acting in bad faith by sprinting to file 25,000 cases ahead of the law\u2019s passage,\u201d Neil Alldredge, president and CEOof the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies, said in an email. \u201cThis last-ditch stunt is yet another example of how legal system abuse has added to the challenges of providing insurance coverage in the state and increased costs for consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HB 837 passed the full House last week and was approved by the Senate Thursday afternoon by a vote of 23-15. The vote was not as partisan as some previous insurance-industry rescue measures were in last year\u2019s special sessions. Four Republicans voted against the bill and one Democrat voted for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democratic senators on Wednesday attempted a last-minute rewrite to soften the impact on policyholders and their attorneys. That amendment failed to pass on the Senate floor. The bill survived largely intact since it was introduced by Sen. Tommy Gregory, R-Lakewood Branch. Gov. Ron DeSantis was expected to sign it by Friday, industry lobbyists said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An explanation of the bill\u2019s provisions can be seen\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurancejournal.com\/news\/southeast\/2023\/02\/16\/708217.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When one of your cases is in need of a construction expert, estimates, insurance appraisal or umpire services in defect or insurance disputes &#8211; please call Advise &amp; Consult, Inc. at 888.684.8305, or email <a href=\"mailto:experts@adviseandconsult.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experts@adviseandconsult.net<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William Rabb | Claims Journal The Florida Senate approved a take-no-prisoners tort-reform bill Thursday and it could be signed into law as soon as Friday.
