Vendors
If you need water mitigation, you can find a list of preferred water vendors here on our website.
When choosing a contractor to repair damages to your property, ask for a written estimate that includes any oral agreements and a line-by-line breakdown of costs for material and labor. Verify that the contractor is licensed, bonded, and properly insured in your state. Ask for references and contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to check your contractor’s rating.
Assignment of Benefits
An Assignment of Benefits (AOB) agreement, once signed, transfers the insurance claims rights or benefits of your insurance policy to a third party, authorizing them to file a claim, make repair decisions, and collect insurance payments without your involvement.
Watch out for AOB vendors representing themselves as employees of, employed by, or sent on behalf of Frontline Insurance. Assume they are not and contact your claim representative to confirm.
If you are asked to sign over your benefits in order to initiate the repair process, know that you do not need to sign an AOB to get your claim processed or your residence repaired, even emergency repairs.
Look for contract language similar to a Power of Attorney and other red flags such as language that prevents your insurance company from communicating with you directly about your claim.
Unnecessary litigation as a result of AOB abuse have driven up insurance costs for homeowners across the state.

Public Adjusters
A public adjuster does not work for your insurance company and may not have the best information about your policy’s coverage, requirements, and restrictions. Before signing a contract, go to the Florida Department of Financial Services link opens in new window for important information about Public Adjusters.

When complying with your post loss policy obligations to mitigate your damages, ALWAYS contact your adjuster prior to agreeing to any non-customary mitigation services such as shrink-wrapping your roof. These services may not be necessary or covered by your policy. It is always a good idea to call your adjuster prior to signing any contract, especially if the contractor or public adjuster guarantees your insurance will cover the damages.
Frontline will never send a vendor to complete mitigation or repairs without your knowledge and permission. If a vendor is telling you Frontline sent them, please call your adjuster prior to allowing the vendor to proceed. Frontline will never request an Assignment of Benefits (AOB) be signed.
Beware of any contractor or roofer who promises they can “pay”, “waive”, or “absorb the cost of” your deductible and that you do not have to pay the deductible yourself. Contractors who tell you this are essentially paying the deductible for you and are therefore raising the price of work to be completed. This is not only an unethical practice, but also illegal as it is committing insurance fraud – See Florida Statute 817.234.
Florida Statute 817.234 False and Fraudulent Insurance claims (7)(d), a contractor or person acting on behalf of a contractor, may not knowingly or willfully and with intent to injure, defraud, or deceive, pay, waive, or rebate all or part of an insurance deductible applicable to payment to the contractor, or a person acting on behalf of a contractor, for repairs to property covered by a property or insurance policy.
If you see fraud or if you or someone you know has been the victim of a fraud or scam, Report it! FRAUD hurts all Florida Homeowners!
