QUESTION
Can we sue the homeowners insurance company for not paying out on a claim causing foreclosure? if so is there a statute of limitations on this?
Asked on Jun 17th, 2014 on Insurance - Florida
More details to this question:
Our home was destroyed because of a fire. We had contractors come in and do the repairs on it. Citizens (insurance company) paid on part of it but not in full, do to this the contractors put a lien on our home. We ended up having to go through foreclosure because our interest rate kept going up and we couldn't do anything about it. All this happened in Florida and the last court date was 2010. Is there anything we can do about this today as far as suing the insurance company?

No way to tell on the facts provided, and you may have statute of limitation issues to contend with. Bigger issue is.....why was this not done or explored several years ago when the dispute over payment of the repairs by Citizens arose?
