Not in Florida? Injunction bonds in other states

Florida injunction & TRO bonds.
Quote on review.

A Florida court won’t enter a temporary injunction until you post security. The bond protects the party you’re enjoining if the injunction turns out wrongful. The court sets the amount it deems proper — and we underwrite it. A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.

How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A court that grants a temporary injunction usually sets the bond at the same time and gives you days to post it. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online with the order setting the bond, the parties, and the amount the court deemed proper. If the order isn’t entered yet, send the motion and the amount you expect.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the order, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is fixed by the court — underwriting decides approval and any collateral, not the penal sum.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached — typically due within five days of the order setting the bond.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court demands security

A temporary injunction freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that injunction later proves wrongful, the enjoined party has been harmed — so Florida requires the moving party to put up security first.

The injunction bond guarantees the enjoined party’s costs and damages get paid if the injunction is dissolved or shown to have been wrongfully entered. The court sets the amount it considers proper for that risk.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large penal sum can require collateral and financials. A few exceptions exist — for example, injunctions to prevent physical injury or abuse of a person require no bond — and we flag those before you apply.

Florida RuleFla. R. Civ. P. 1.610(b) provides that no temporary injunction shall be entered unless a bond is given by the movant in an amount the court deems proper, conditioned for the payment of costs and damages sustained by the adverse party if the adverse party is wrongfully enjoined.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a Florida injunction or TRO bond?It is the security a court requires before it will enter a temporary injunction. Under Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.610(b), no temporary injunction issues unless the movant posts a bond in the amount the court deems proper, conditioned to pay the costs and damages the adverse party sustains if it is wrongfully enjoined.
How much does it cost?It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum — the amount it deems proper to protect the enjoined party. A surety specialist then reviews your file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount?The court does. Rule 1.610(b) leaves the amount to the court’s discretion, sized to the costs and damages the enjoined party could suffer if the injunction is later dissolved. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court orders.
Are there cases where no bond is required?Yes. The rule lets a court dispense with a bond when an injunction issues on the pleading of a government body, having due regard for the public interest, and no bond is required for an injunction issued solely to prevent physical injury or abuse of a person. We flag these before you apply.
How fast can the bond be issued?A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. The bond is usually due within five days of the order setting it, so once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s form, ready to file.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
