The national personal injury law firm Morgan & Morgan is being sued by Arkansas attorney Jody Shackelford, who alleges that the firm is violating state and federal regulations with its "misleading" ad campaigns, which are approved by its Florida-based founder John Morgan.

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) has recently noted a downward trend in insurance rate filings for 2024, the first such trend in years. This suggests that the state's property and casualty insurance market is continuing to strengthen.

Jerry Theodorou, the Policy Director for Finance, Insurance, and Trade at the R Street Institute, has stated that Florida's insurance market has reaped benefits from legislative reform measures such as capping attorney's fee awards. These measures have led to a reduction in the volume of "unmerited litigation" within the state. Theodorou made this statement in a commentary on April 4.
