Summary Judgment Granted Where Court Ruled Plaintiff’s Policy was Cancelled and the Carrier’s Post Office Receipt Secured Certificate of Mailing was Valid

Sharon Degnan, of our Orlando office, prevailed on a Motion for Final Summary Judgment in a coverage case. In a nutshell, the insured failed to pay her policy premiums, resulting in the cancellation of her policy.  About two months post-cancellation, she was involved in an accident and, of course, sought coverage under her policy arguing that she did not know the policy was cancelled and that the carrier’s cancellation was legally insufficient and invalid because its Post Office Receipt Secured Certificate of Mailing failed to comply with U.S. Postal Regulations. With lots of time and energy spent (including putting together some incredibly thorough affidavits on this subject), Sharon challenged Plaintiff’s arguments, convinced the Judge, and scored a victory!
