Creative Investors Inc., Michael Faucher and Gisele Faucher v. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation

Final Summary Judgment

Miami Junior Partner Cristina Sevilla successfully secured final summary judgment in a first-party property matter styled Creative Investors Inc., Michael Faucher and Gisele Faucher v. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. Plaintiffs, represented by Moises Gross, PLLC, alleged the insurance proceeds issued by Defendant were insufficient to repair the damage sustained to their property caused by vandalism. Prior to the filing of their lawsuit, Plaintiffs lost title to the insured property in a foreclosure action brought by the superior mortgagee. Discovery revealed Plaintiffs made only minimal repairs prior to losing the property and failed to maintain any records evidencing the repairs made or expenses incurred. Defendant moved for final summary judgment on the grounds that Plaintiffs were unable to prove damages beyond the payment issued by Defendant. Plaintiffs failed to submit any summary judgment evidence to overcome this argument and the trial court granted final summary judgment in favor of Defendant, finding that Plaintiffs’ claim for damages was factually unsupported.
