Attorneys Samuel Kugbei and Christopher Corkran in the firm's Hollywood office prevailed on a motion for summary judgment in a case in Miami-Dade County in which the Plaintiff alleged that the Defendant insurance carrier was liable for the Plaintiff's car breaking down 4 months after the insurance carrier paid to have the Plaintiff's vehicle repaired at the Plaintiff's chosen body shop. The Plaintiff alleged that the replacement parts were not of 'like kind and quality' to the original damaged parts. The Court agreed with the defense. It held that without evidence of there being a contractual or other business relationship to indicate the insurance carrier was guaranteeing work performed by the body shop, the insurance carrier was not required to extend coverage for the subsequent failure of the Plaintiff's car.
