Can an insurance company non-renew for a sinkhole claim?
Florida law prohibits an insurance company from non-renewing any property insurance policy for filing a claim on a partial loss caused by sinkhole damage or clay shrinkage, unless: 1.) The total of such payments exceeds the current policy limits of coverage for property damage, or 2.) the insured has not repaired the structure in accordance with the engineering recommendations upon which any payment or policy proceeds were based. Reference: Florida Statute 627.
