3/10/16 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Leandro de la Fuente, et al., v Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, SC15-519
Mr. de la Fuente’s insurer denied a claim for sinkhole damage to his home. When the insurer later was declared insolvent, the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association became involved, as provided by state law. FIGA told Mr. de la Fuente that it would pay for repairs but that, as required by state law, the payments would go directly to the contractors. Mr. de la Fuente challenged that and the trial court agreed with him. But the Second District Court of Appeal overturned the trial court’s ruling and also certified the legal issues involved to be of great public importance for this Court’s review.
