To Disclose or Not To Disclose?

If I am sent a letter to disclose my homeowners insurance information in regards to an incident that I have no knowledge about not occuring on my property, do I have to disclose it?

Re: To Disclose or Not To Disclose?

sounds to me like you are not disclosing all of the facts; however, there is a statute in Florida requiring discl;osure of insurance coverage. Often times, when the lawyer cannot get a response he takes the easiest path -- that is to file suit against you. Then, you are forced to disclose the information and you now have a lawsuit to deal with.

Gee.... I wonder if it was from a dogbite? This is the third question on the same subject. If you have more questions, I would suggest that you actually consult an attorney. Most offer free or reasonably priced initially consultations.
