Check this article out. It's a fucking racket, and DeSantis is screwing over homeowners because the insurance industry has given so generously to his campaign. Our govt bought the lie that the premium hikes were necessary because of bogus lawsuits filed against the insurance companies by homeowners. But this article shows that there is nothing, no data whatsoever, to back that up. So what did DeSantis do last year? He got a law passed that eliminates our ability as homeowners to get reimbursed litigation fees should we even win a fucking lawsuit.
