Insured Gets Caught Up in Contradictions, Costs Her the Case.

William A. Sabinson, of our West Palm Beach office, secured a summary judgment for our client, a property insurer, in a Hurricane Irma case. The insurer investigated the property damage loss, sent a reservation of rights letter, and paid for the damaged portion of the insured’s roof. The insurer requested she submit any estimates she received, but she forwarded nothing and, instead, sued. During her deposition, the insured testified she had no contact with anyone from the insurer during the handling of her claim. However, when the insurer moved for summary judgment, the insured submitted an affidavit arguing that the claims adjuster told her there was additional damage to her roof. Billy moved to have the affidavit stricken given that it contradicted the insured’s deposition testimony. The court agreed and ultimately granted summary judgment in favor of the insurer.
