3/9/16 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Kathy Johnson v. Omega Insurance Co., SC14-2124

Ms. Johnson made a claim on her homeowner’s insurance policy for structural damage to her home caused by sinkhole activity. Omega denied the claim after its engineer concluded the damage was not caused by sinkhole activity. Ms. Johnson sued Omega, citing breach of contract. Two other engineering studies concluded the damage was caused by sinkhole activity and Omega agreed to pay Ms. Johnson’s claim. She then filed for attorney’s fees, which Omega challenged. The trial court ruled that Ms. Johnson was entitled to payment of fees and other costs; the Fifth District Court of Appeal overturned the lower court. Ms. Johnson asked this Court to review the case, arguing the 5th DCA decision conflicts with an earlier ruling by this Court.
