Illinois Code § 809.1

§ 809.1.

Arbitration. In the event of a dispute between a policyholder and an insurer as to whether a residence or commercial building covered by mine subsidence insurance has been damaged by mine subsidence, a policyholder shall have the right to submit that dispute to arbitration in accordance with this Section. No policyholder shall have the right under this Section to submit to arbitration any issue regarding the amount of loss or damage caused to a residence or commercial building by mine subsidence. Arbitration may be initiated only after the insurer has made a decision that the residence or commercial building covered by mine subsidence insurance was not damaged by mine subsidence and so notified the policyholder in writing, accompanied by a notice informing the policyholder of the policyholder's right to arbitration and containing specific reference to this Section. Within 60 days after receipt by the policyholder of the notification, the policyholder may initiate arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as then in effect. All costs of the arbitration shall be borne by the losing party. Appeals from the decision of the arbitrators shall be in accordance with the Uniform Arbitration Act as in effect in Illinois.
