Effective January 6, 2020 Windhaven Insurance Company (“WIC”) was ordered into liquidation by Second Judicial Circuit Court in Leon County, Florida. The Florida Department of Financial Services (Department) is the court appointed receiver of WIC. A copy of the liquidation order is available on the Department’s website, https://www.myfloridacfo.com/division/receiver/
With the entry of the liquidation order, the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (“FIGA”) has been activated to help pay outstanding Florida claims for property and casualty policies. The processing and payment of covered claims will be made by FIGA (subject to the lesser of policy limits or FIGA’s maximum cap). The maximum amount FIGA will cover is generally $300,000 per claim. For more information see the FAQ section of this website or the Florida Receiver website. No claim will be paid in excess of this cap. All claims are subject to a $100 statutory deductible over and above any deductible identified in the WIC policy. A policyholder may file a claim in the WIC receivership for the $100 deductible and for amounts over the cap.
Claimants who need to check on the status of an existing claim or to report a new claim should call the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association at (800) 988-1450 (toll-free).
To report a NEW claim or REOPEN an existing claim previously handled by an insolvent company email FIGA at nclaim@agfgroup.org or fax 850-523-1888. You will need to provide the following information:
