Rules Are Rules: Court Grants Summary Judgment Due to Plaintiff’s Violation of Assignment of Benefits Requirement

Jonathan O. Aihie, of our Miami office, obtained a summary judgment in favor of our client in a first-party property case. The insured entered into an assignment of benefits (“AOB”) with a contractor, but the contractor failed to provide the signed AOB to the insurer within three days of its execution as required under section 627.7152(2)(a)3, Florida Statutes. Additionally, the contractor also violated subsection (9)(a) of the same statute by filing a premature notice of intent to litigate. The court held these violations invalidated the claim.
