Status
This section has been repealed
While it was in force, section 627.428 was titled Attorney fees. Because the section is no longer part of the Florida Statutes, it cannot be relied on as current authority, and citing it in correspondence with a carrier will not carry the weight it once did.

In practice
What this means for your claim
If guidance you have read elsewhere relies on section 627.428, check the date of that guidance. Material written before the 2023 edition may describe rights that no longer exist. This page does not state what governs the same subject today, because that depends on when your loss occurred and on the terms of your policy. A licensed Florida public adjuster or attorney can tell you which version of the law applies to your claim.
