The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation approved several important changes to Citizens Property Insurance Co.’s homeowner policy that Citizens hopes will curtail the current litigation trend by insureds, assignment-of-benefit vendors and their attorneys.

In changing the policy language, Citizens hopes to reduce the litigation and avoid additional increases to its policyholders’ premiums.
