Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice in Electronic Signature Challenge

Valerie Dondero, of the Miami office, obtained a Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice in favor of an insurance carrier on an electronic signature challenge in Vero Beach, Florida. The Plaintiff alleged he had not “signed” the application for insurance and had not “signed” the rejection of UM coverage form. Plaintiff also asserted a fraud count against his insurance agent who he claimed electronically signed the documents without the plaintiff’s knowledge or permission. The Agent denied these allegations. Through the carrier’s underwriting documents and electronically stored documentation on its e-signature processes, Valerie convinced the Plaintiff and his high profile counsel there was no claim and that a FS 57.105 would likely be filed if a dismissal was not forthcoming. Valerie continues to be the only statewide coverage counsel for the carrier’s electronic signature processes.
