Glass Litigation Article Cited in Bill Analysis by The Florida Senate

November 5, 2024

Dale Parker and Brendan McKay article, Florida Auto Glass Claims: A Cracked System, Trial Advocate Quarterly Fall 2016, was recently cited in the Bill analysis for Fla. Stat. SB 1002.

In-Network Versus Out-of-Network Motor Vehicle Repair Shops
Insurers frequently create preferred vendor networks with motor vehicle repair shops to expedite windshield repairs and negotiate rates for services to be paid directly by the insurer.

SB 1002 revises definitions under the Florida Motor Vehicle Repair Act to ensure that businesses that calibrate or recalibrate advanced driver assistance systems associated with windshields are regulated under the Act. The bill prohibits motor vehicle repair shops, their employees, and their representatives, from offering an inducement to a customer in exchange for making an insurance claim for motor vehicle glass replacement or repair. Finally, the bill prohibits a policyholder, or any other person, from entering an assignment agreement of post-loss benefits for motor vehicle glass replacement or repair, including for calibration or recalibration of advanced driver assistance systems.
