Defense Verdict
Summary:
Fort Lauderdale Junior Partner Jeremy Fischler, Esq., secured a dismissal in the First-Party Property matter styled You Restoration LLC a/a/o Ali Althis Bastardo v. Defendant Insurance Company. Defense filed a Motion for Summary Judgment in which it argued that the Defendant made full payment under the Policy’s Managed Repair Program. Specifically, the Plaintiff performed water mitigation services on behalf of the Insured, and received a partial payment after carrier review of the estimate. The Insured thereafter rejected the carrier’s offer to utilize the Managed Repair Program, thereby limiting the claim under the Policy to $10,000.00. The carrier sent the balance of the Policy limits to the Insured. Plaintiffs argued that this payment, made after the carrier was notified of the water mitigation services, could not have discharged the carrier’s obligations to pay the full invoice presented by Plaintiffs. The day before the hearing, Plaintiffs advised that they would abandon the case and submitted a dismissal. Read More.
