State Farm Florida Insurance Co. is asking a judge to block disclosure of detailed company information related to “assignment of benefits,” an insurance practice at the center of fierce political and legal debates in recent years.

State Farm filed a lawsuit last week in Leon County circuit court after the state Office of Insurance Regulation received a public-records request for information that State Farm and other insurers were required to submit to the state. The information includes several years’ worth of data about the handling of property-insurance claims and assignment of benefits.
