Practice Area:
Attorney(s) :
Plaintiff Counsel:
Carlos Santiesteban, P.A.
Result:
Dismissal with Prejudice
Summary:

FPP Managing Partner Anthony Perez and Junior Partner Cristina Sevilla secured a dismissal with prejudice in the matter styled Juana Navarro v. Defendant Insurance Company. Plaintiff filed suit alleging that Defendant breached the insurance contract by denying coverage for her claim for damage to her property resulting from a roof leak. Defendant maintained its position on the denial of coverage based on the policy’s exclusion for existing damage, as Defendant had previously issued payment to Plaintiff for the replacement of the roof. While Plaintiff alleged that she had replaced the roof with the payment received from Defendant pursuant to her prior claim, Defendant asserted that Plaintiff had not replaced the roof and was attempting to mislead Defendant in an attempt to secure a second payment from Defendant for the same roof. Following Defendant’s discovery that Plaintiff had submitted a fake invoice for the replacement of the roof, Plaintiff dismissed the case with prejudice.
