Reservation of Rights
Carrier notice preserving the right to deny coverage later.
A reservation of rights letter means the carrier is investigating but not yet committing. Treat it as a yellow flag. Document thoroughly and expect challenges.
In practice
Where you encounter "Reservation of Rights" in Florida claims
Policyholders see "Reservation of Rights" referenced in policy language, claim correspondence, and carrier scope of loss documents. Knowing the precise definition under Florida practice keeps you from accepting carrier framing. See also FS 626.854 and FS 627.70131.
