Victory In Orange County: Motion For Summary Judgment Granted In First-Party Property Case

Kelley Kronenberg Attorney, Coral Lerner, alongside Partner, Scott Dornstein, secured a significant victory in First-Party Property case pending in Orange County, Florida, shielding our client from potential judgment. The Honorable Andrew L. Cameron, of Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit, presided.

In this case, the insured had entered into an Assignment of Benefits (AOB) with Air Quality Assessors to generate an engineer's report detailing damages and necessary reparations to the property. The defendant, our client, asserted that this AOB was unenforceable. The grounds for this included the failure to provide a per-unit service cost estimate, containing a penalty clause for rescission, and an administrative fee provision, all of which violated Florida Statutes § 627.7152.
