Florida has long been known for its high volume of property insurance litigation, but new data shows a significant shift.

According to Florida’s latest Property Insurance Stability Report, the state’s share of homeowners insurance lawsuits nationwide dropped from 73.15% in 2024 to 41.29% in 2025. Property insurance claims also declined considerably.

While litigation remains a significant part of Florida’s insurance landscape, the numbers suggest that recent changes are having a measurable impact on claims and disputes.

At Sheehe & Associates, P.A., we continue to monitor developments in Florida insurance law and represent clients in complex insurance and commercial disputes.

A recent Florida Supreme Court ruling could have significant implications for businesses and insurers facing punitive damages claims. In Perlmutter v. Federal Insurance Co., the Court clarified that the clear and convincing” evidence standard applies at trial—not at the earlier stage when a party seeks permission to plead punitive damages.

The decision may make punitive damages claims easier to introduce earlier in litigation, potentially opening the door to financial discovery, increased exposure, and greater settlement pressure.

For businesses and insurers, the ruling reinforces the importance of early case assessment and strategic preparation when punitive damages are at issue.

A Florida judge has dismissed claims against former Lighthouse Property Insurance executives in a dispute brought by investment funds over alleged losses tied to Hurricane Ida. The court found that the plaintiffs had released the claims through an earlier note purchase agreement, underscoring how contract language and release provisions can ultimately determine the outcome of complex commercial litigation.

For businesses and insurers alike, carefully drafted agreements can be just as important in the courtroom as they are when the deal is made.

As businesses continue to look for ways to manage the time and expense associated with litigation, mediation and arbitration remain important tools for resolving disputes efficiently. A recent Reuters report on Amazon’s return to arbitration highlights the renewed focus on alternative dispute resolution as a faster, more cost-effective path in appropriate cases. For parties seeking greater control over timing, expense and the resolution process, ADR can provide a practical alternative to prolonged litigation. When disputes arise, Sheehe & Associates P.A. provides experienced dispute resolution and arbitration services focused on efficient time and money saving solutions.

The Florida Supreme Court is set to consider whether Citizens Property Insurance Corporation’s mandatory arbitration system is constitutional. The dispute centers on requirements that certain policyholders resolve claims through the Division of Administrative Hearings rather than through the traditional court system. The Court’s decision could have significant implications for Citizens, insurance carriers, policyholders, and the future of property insurance disputes in Florida.

✔️ Dispute resolution procedures
✔️ Attorney's fees and governing law

At Sheehe & Associates, P.A., we help businesses draft, review, and enforce contracts that are designed to minimize risk and protect your interests. If you're entering into an important business agreement, we're here to help.

Buying a horse is more than finding the right match, it's making sure the purchase is backed by the right documentation.

An article in Equus Magazine reminds buyers to ask for veterinary records, registration papers, ownership history, and a properly executed bill of sale before completing a purchase. Missing documentation or inconsistent information can be early warning signs that deserve closer attention.

A well-drafted purchase agreement can help clarify each party's rights and responsibilities and reduce the risk of costly disputes down the road.

If you or someone you know is in the process of buying or selling a horse, contact us for a consultation. Our equine law team can help review contracts, protect your interests, and provide experienced legal guidance throughout the transaction.
