Our client was a single foreigner filing an insurance claim for the first time in her life. Her home in Venice, Florida suffered tremendous losses due to Hurricane Ian, including innumerable broken tiles that permitted water intrusion and ensuing damage to the inside of her home, including ceilings, walls, and floors. She opened a claim on her own with her insurer, who only paid her $8,579.26 for these losses. Our firm was hired, submitted paperwork to establish a pattern of bad faith behavior by the insurer, and filed a lawsuit.
Through the case process, evidence uncovered by our lawyers further supported the theory of bad faith and failure of the insurer to properly pay the fair value of the claim. Just seven months into our representation, we collected an additional $137,000.00 for our client.
