Florida Bad Faith Insurance Mediation

When parties enter into an insurance contract, they rely on mutual trust and the expectation of good faith in handling claims. Yet at times, disagreements emerge over the scope, timing, or handling of a claim. These situations can be especially difficult when policyholders and insurers view actions differently—and when financial and emotional stakes are high.

At Florida Dispute Resolution, LLC, we provide mediation services for bad faith insurance disputes to help parties engage in meaningful dialogue, clarify expectations, and explore workable solutions. Led by experienced attorney and neutral Katie Hinkle, Esq., our goal is to offer a fair, private, and efficient forum for resolving complex insurance disputes across Florida.

Why Mediate Bad Faith Insurance Disputes?

Disagreements about claims handling can become highly personal and time-consuming. Mediation provides a neutral, structured, and confidential environment where parties can explore the underlying issues and work toward a resolution that reflects their priorities.

Benefits of Mediation in Bad Faith Cases

• Facilitates Open Communication: Bad faith disputes often involve a breakdown in communication and trust between the policyholder and the insurer. Mediation provides a forum for open and honest dialogue, allowing parties to express their concerns and understand each other’s perspectives.
• Reduces Litigation Risk and Uncertainty: Litigation in these cases can be complex and unpredictable. Mediation helps avoid prolonged legal battles and retains control of the outcome.
• Saves Time and Money: Litigation in bad faith cases can be exceptionally expensive and time-consuming. Mediation offers a more efficient and cost-effective way to resolve these disputes.
• Preserves Confidentiality: Mediation proceedings are confidential, which can be particularly important in bad faith cases, where sensitive information may be involved.
