Rhode Island H7516 strengthens consumer protections in insurance claims by improving arbitration and appraisal proceedings.

Rhode Island H7516 aims to enhance consumer protections in insurance claims by ensuring the fairness and timeliness of arbitration and appraisal proceedings. The bill allows the court to appoint arbitrators or appraisers if parties fail to make required appointments or cause delays. This ensures that arbitration or appraisal proceedings proceed without prejudice to the party that has complied with the agreement. The act also mandates that notice of a motion to vacate, modify, or correct an award must be served within thirty days after the award is filed or delivered.
