Advocates of a recently introduced auto-glass lawsuit bill argue that the current system incentivizes excessive litigation by repair shops and lawyers, leading to higher auto insurance costs. State Senator Linda Stewart and Representative Phillip “Griff” Griffitts have filed versions of the reform aimed at ending unnecessary lawsuits related to windshield repairs. The bills would prohibit vendors from accepting an insurance benefits assignment for auto glass claims, and Senator Stewart’s SB 1002 would also forbid repair shops from offering incentives to customers for making an insurance claim for auto glass replacement. In addition, it would require consumers to be fully informed about the calibration or recalibration of electronic safety systems, which is required in the repair of many newer cars. According to supporters of the reform, the number of auto-glass lawsuits in Florida has increased significantly, from 591 in 2011 to over 37,000 in 2022. The Florida Tort Reform Institute’s president, William Large, views these bills as part of a larger effort to pass a tort reform plan. According to data from the Florida Department of Financial Services, 95% of the state’s auto-glass lawsuits are initiated by the actions of 20 attorneys, and a small group of repair shops is also involved in the claims litigation, say reform advocates.
