Key Trends & Insights
Florida Insurance Bad Faith cases in this dataset reflect a notably high median outcome of $8.4 million, suggesting that juries and settling parties are willing to impose substantial financial consequences on insurers found to have acted in bad faith. The two 2024 cases show a wide range from $3.2 million to $13.7 million, indicating that case-specific facts — such as the severity of the underlying claim, the insurer's conduct, and the degree of harm to the insured — play a significant role in valuation. Despite Florida's $500,000 non-economic damages cap for negligence claims, bad faith actions can circumvent these limits by pursuing consequential damages, attorney's fees, and punitive damages, driving outcomes well above typical tort ceilings.
