Miami Senior Partner Anthony Perez and Senior Associate Alec Teijelo secured a dismissal with prejudice in the matter styled Pedro Monteagudo v. Defendant Insurance Company. Plaintiff filed suit alleging that Defendant breached the insurance contract by denying coverage for his claim for damage to his property resulting from Hurricane Ian. Defendant filed its Motion for Summary Judgment, contending that the damage to the roof was caused by wear and tear, and that there was no evidence of a peril created opening in the roof that allowed rainwater to enter the property. Following the deposition of Plaintiff’s expert, during which Mr. Perez secured favorable testimony in support of Defendant’s position, and in advance of the hearing on Defendant’s motion, Plaintiff dismissed the case with prejudice.
