Can I afford an attorney if I have to sue my insurance company?
If you have to sue your insurance company, you will certainly be able to afford an attorney. Generally, in Florida, attorneys will handle claims on what is known as a contingent fee basis, which means the insurance company is paid either from a settlement, or by the insurance company if there is a recovery. In addition, there is a statute, or a law, in Florida, that obligates the insurance company to pay for the attorney’s fees, the homeowner’s attorney’s fees, if there is a lawsuit and a recovery under the policy.
