Reinstatement
Restoration of a lapsed policy.
Lapsed policies can sometimes be reinstated with back-premium payment. Not guaranteed; underwriting may re-evaluate.
In practice
Where you encounter "Reinstatement"
Policyholders see "Reinstatement" referenced in policy language, claim correspondence, and scope documents. Knowing the precise definition under Florida practice keeps you from accepting carrier framing. See FS 626.854 on public adjuster representation and FS 627.70131 on carrier duties.
