United Auto Courts Report

Florida drivers pay some of the highest insurance premiums in the country as a result of fraud being committed by sometimes organized rings of runners, healthcare providers and PIP attorneys who have been milking the system since the inception of Florida’s no-fault auto insurance system. This has caused most insurance companies writing minimum limits auto insurance to go out of business, making this type of insurance less available and more expensive. The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has stated that more than 80% of all automobile accident injury claims are fraudulent. United Automobile Insurance Company has been at the forefront of fighting this monumental fraud problem in the Florida Legislature and in the courts. But this battle has been expensive and seemingly unwinnable in part to what the company sees as an uneven playing field. The United Auto Courts Report blog updates its readers on cases, verdicts and appellate decisions that impact Florida’s insurance market.
