Florida had a huge problem where unscrupulous lawyers and roofers would go around to homeowners and say "We can get you a new roof for free!". Homeowners would sign over their negotiating rights to the lawyer/roofer, they'd sue insurance saying that a roof was needed, and so the homeowner would get a new roof and the lawyer/roofer would get a nice profit. This is very costly to insurance, and I think last year the legislature passed a law forbidding this method.

Yet plenty of letters in the mail offering to handle getting me a new roof. The difference is that Florida used to make it really easy to force the insurance company to pay even when nothing was wrong.
