Do you need help with an Avatar Claim?
Our team of licensed Florida Public Adjusters have been receiving several calls from understandably concerned Avatar policyholders. As you likely already know, Avatar Property & Casualty Insurance Company has been ordered into liquidation. Due to this order, the Florida Insurance Guarantee Association (FIGA) has been activated to help pay their outstanding claims as well as any new claims that may still be filed under the Avatar Policy, assuming the damages occurred within the policy period. These policyholders are in all different stages of the claims process, some have already been denied or underpaid while others have a new claim and have questions about the process.
Transitioning over to FIGA will understandably cause some delays with existing claims. The good news is that Avatar was an admitted carrier and now that FIGA is stepping in to handle claims, they should be processed and paid accordingly.
FIGA Claims Assistance Available
The good news is that Avatar was an Admitted Carrier in the State of Florida. What does this mean to you? It means that their policyholders have the protections afforded through FIGA if the company is to ever go out of business. To put it simply, claims should still be paid per the policy, aside from a few FIGA limitations and nuances of which there are 3 that stand out.
- FIGA will currently cover up to $300,000.00 per claim with an additional $200,000.00 available for structures and contents on homeowner’s claims.
- The claims filing deadline for Avatar Claims is March 14th of 2023.
