Avatar Property & Casualty: who you’re dealing with.

Avatar Property & Casualty Insurance Company was ordered into receivership for purposes of liquidation on March 14, 2022 by the Second Judicial Circuit Court in Leon County, with the Florida Department of Financial Services as Receiver. All Avatar policies were canceled effective 12:01 a.m. on April 13, 2022. Claim data was transferred to the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, which continues to process outstanding claims and pays covered claims up to $300,000 per claim, with an additional $200,000 for structures and contents on homeowners claims. FIGA claim status: 800-988-1450.

Often, yes. FIGA stands in Avatar's place on covered claims, and a FIGA determination can be disputed with documentation like any carrier's decision. The proof-of-claim deadline in the estate was March 14, 2023, and the Receiver states that no claims bar date has been established, so later matters go through the Receiver's electronic submission process. FIGA lists March 14, 2024 as the final date to settle a claim or file suit. Deadlines are unforgiving after an insolvency: date every document, request your complete claim file, and get advice quickly.
