In another Motion for Summary Judgment victory in Miami-Dade County, Paul Schoenberger successfully argued a late notice denial was proper on a first party property dispute. The loss was first reported three years after the alleged wind event. The Court ruled in line with case law from the 3rd District Court of Appeal, that Plaintiff’s expert’s report and affidavit prepared by Grant Renne that was based on an inspection five years after the loss, was conclusory and therefore insufficient to rebut the presumption of prejudice. Congratulations to Paul and the Insurance Defense Team on another favorable judgment! #lawfirm #floridalawyers #insurancedefense #litigationdefense #FPPattorneys #law #team

Zumpano Castro attorney Stephen Machin and the litigation insurance defense team prevailed on a motion for summary judgment on a late notice insurance claim where the loss was not reported until approximately two and a half years later, preventing the carrier from conducting a proper investigation. The Court found that the Plaintiffs did not timely report the claim, entitling the carrier the presumption of prejudice, and the Plaintiffs failed to put forth sufficient evidence to rebut the presumption of prejudice. The carrier can now pursue attorney fees and costs based on a rejected proposal for settlement. Congratulations to Stephen and the Zumpano Castro Team! #lawfirm #floridalawyers #insurancedefense #litigationdefense #FPPattorneys #law #team
