Jonathan O. Aihie, of our Miami office, won the firm’s first virtual motion for summary judgment. By way of background, the insurance carrier accepted coverage in a plumbing leak case and issued payment in the amount of $10,000 for the insured’s property damage. The insured never requested any supplemental payment before filing suit, so there was no breach of contract. Thereafter, Jonathan deposed the insured who testified that it only cost $4,000 to complete the repairs. Jonathan then filed a motion for summary judgment because the insured could not prove damages to support his breach of contract lawsuit. Plaintiff’s dilatory response attached a $49,000 estimate and photographs, but the documents were unsworn, and Jonathan moved to strike them accordingly. The court declined to consider the response and granted the motion for summary judgment.
