Nicole M. Ellis, of the Miami office, obtained a partial summary judgment in a case involving claims for property damage against an insurance carrier. Plaintiff filed a Declaratory Action and Breach of Contract claim with the clear intent to multiply fees. Nicole moved for partial summary judgment as to the declaratory action, arguing there never was any dispute over coverage for the event and that the dispute was squarely only for the value of the claimed damages. The court agreed and entered partial summary judgment in favor of Nicole’s client on the declaratory claim, leaving only the breach of contract claim at issue.
