A husband and wife in Boca Raton, Florida suffered a refrigerator supply line leak shortly after the birth of their first child. The leak damaged flooring and baseboards throughout several rooms. Mold eventually developed and spread in the air, causing a severe risk to their newborn. The claim was reported to the insurance company, but it attempted to limit coverage to a water damage sublimit of $10,000.00 and denied coverage for mold. Our law firm fought the insurance company on these positions, including pursuing an appeal of a judge’s decision rejecting the insurer’s bad faith exposure. Shortly thereafter, our law firm was able to resolve this dispute, bringing our total collection for our client to $72,500.00.
