Massachusetts S785 prohibits insurance policies from requiring insureds to use company-appointed adjusters.
Massachusetts S785 amends the state's insurance laws to prohibit insurance companies from requiring policyholders to use company-appointed adjusters as a condition for recovery under their policies. Any policy language that mandates the use of company-appointed adjusters is deemed unenforceable and must be removed from the policy. Additionally, the bill prohibits policy provisions that restrict insureds from hiring public adjusters for services related to property or casualty insurance. This legislation aims to protect policyholders' rights to choose their own adjusters.
