Navigation Florida’s senior living facilities have 2nd highest legal claims rate in U.S., study finds
Florida’s senior living facilities recorded the second highest average claims losses among the 50 states in 2022, amounting to $1,250 per occupied residential unit, according to a new study from the insurance services company WTW.
The analysis, which paints a picture of the legal environment senior care facilities deal with among the states, shows a general trend of the increased liability costs – due to falls, issues with medicines and other kinds of accidents – facing the long-term care centers.
The study also showed a wide variation of so-called loss costs – average legal claims payouts on a per-residential unit basis – among the states, from $180 in Texas to $1,675 in Kentucky in 2022.
