Episode 26 – AOB Reform: Did Consumers Win?

In the six months since legislative reform, insurance companies report the number of Assignment of Benefit (AOB) claims in Florida are way down as are related lawsuits. But they’re also seeing new strategies by contractors and their attorneys to work around the reforms.

On the other side, contractors complain that without the “old AOB,” they’re getting shortchanged by insurance companies and homeowners for work they’ve already performed.

Host, Lisa Miller, a former deputy insurance commissioner, talks with Tanaz Salehi, and Mohammad Sherif on the reform’s impact, its unintended consequences, and the potential solutions to ongoing claims problems.
