Florida Insurance Law Blog

In 2007 we had the opportunity to represent a terrific young lady, Larose McLoyd, who had been the victim of a fraud perpetrated on her by the National Indemnity Company of the South and one of it's claims personnel, Ms. Dworak. Here is the link to our brief description of the underlying facts and litigation: http://www.liggiolaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1246051.html

Today, the Florida 1st District Court of Appeals rejected National Indemnity Company's appeal of that verdict.

This case is proof that our justice system can level the playing field between the corporation and the individual, and between the rich and powerful and the less fortunate members of our society.

It's been some time since I posted on this Blog, and I apologize for that. We've been just a little busy with some of our ongoing bad faith suits and class actions. I'll certainly try to do better.

There was something in the media today that I think is very important reading.

To put things in context: While the Florida property /homeowners insurers make it extremely difficult for any homeowner who has the temerity to make a claim, and while they are asking the legislature to remove any restraints on their rates, this is what they actually do with the premiums paid by Florida homeowners: http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100315/ARTICLE/3141081/2107/BUSINESS&Title=How-insurers-make-millions-on-the-side&tc=ar&template=printpicart
