Tampa managing partner Michael Kraft secured a defense verdict in an admitted liability case in Hillsborough County, Florida, where a truck accident resulted in the total loss of the plaintiff’s car. Both the husband and wife received three injections to their neck and three to their back and each underwent a lumbar surgery, with medical expenses totaling $150,000 for the wife and $200,000 for the husband. The defense disputed causation, arguing that the plaintiffs already had an attorney on their first doctor’s visit and that the accident was not the cause of their injuries. Despite plaintiffs seeking $1.4 million each, the jury returned a total defense verdict and found no causation. Defense served Proposals for Settlement that were rejected and we are currently pursuing our attorneys fees and cost.

Noelia C. Vaccaro recently prevailed on a motion to dismiss in an AOB case in Miami-Dade County, in which the Plaintiff filed a declaratory judgment action based on an alleged assignment of post-loss benefits (AOB) executed by the insured in late 2021. Defendant argued that the AOB failed to include a written, itemized, per-unit cost estimate of the services to be performed, only providing a price list, which violates section 627.7152(2)(a)4. The Court agreed with the Defendant, which held that a price list does not meet statutory requirements. The attached invoices were not incorporated into the AOB, rendering them insufficient to meet the statutory requirement.
