First DCA Holds Right to Appraisal Waived by Participating in Litigation

In Silvia v. Castle Key Insurance Company, No.: 1D21-3889 (Fla. 1st DCA June 14, 2023), the trial court granted the insurer’s motion to invoke appraisal and abate litigation finding that the insurer’s conduct did not result in a waiver of its right to invoke appraisal.
