$110,000 Settlement
When this client, a senior US veteran, first approached us, he had lost all faith in his insurance company. An initial catastrophic plumbing loss had left him without the use of his master bath shower, toilet, and faucet. Months later, another leak in the second bathroom had him without the use of ANY plumbing. His first claim was denied and his second claim was underpaid. With a Civil Remedy Notice to address the carrier’s bad faith and subsequent litigation, we fought long and hard to get him what he needed.
$127,000 Settlement
Carriers are picking new fights over the “matching statute” and whether or not continuous flooring, or replacement of both upper and lower cabinetry must be covered. Make no mistake – Florida Stat. Ann. § 626.9744 requires the insurer to “make reasonable repairs or replacement of items in adjoining areas” when there is a loss requiring replacement of items and the replaced items do not match in quality, color, or size. This client recovered for a significant span of marble flooring and built-in cabinetry after a bad supply line leak!
$49,000 Settlement
Another early settlement got this client enough to cover expensive Hurricane damages to her unique coral wall. The holidays are here and so many insurance company adjusters are already out and asleep at the wheel.
