Michelle Diverio, Eva Camara Garcia, and Alex Sanchez Parraga prevailed on appeal in the Third District Court of Appeal obtaining the affirmance of an order granting the carrier’s motion for summary judgment. The appellant tried to challenge the trial court’s finding that the carrier proved the insured’s material breach of the policy and was entitled to a presumption of prejudice. On appeal, Lydecker’s Property Practice Group rebutted each of the arguments presented pointing to the record evidence and disputed the existence of genuine issues of material fact. The appellate court also granted the motion for entitlement to appellate fees and costs and the carrier now will be able to recover the fees incurred in defending the appeal.

Our property practice group, Troy Darmanin and Chris Lutzel run by chair, Michelle Diverio, successfully argued and drafted a Motion for Summary Judgment on behalf of their client. The Judge found that the Plaintiffs did not abide by their contractual obligations under the subject policy and were further unable to rebut the applicable presumption of prejudice applicable in the judicial district. Since Defendant had propounded a proposal for settlement, it is now in a position to recover its fees and costs associated with defending this suit. #Lydecker #LydeckerLLP #Lydeckerlife #LydeckerWin

Lydecker Partner, Jessica Lafaurie, and Dianera Rodriguez successfully briefed and argued a Motion for Summary Judgement on behalf of their corporate client, establishing that there was no duty to monitor the acts of its independent contractor performing work on their property. One of the largest plaintiff firm’s in the nation, took the aggressive position that the defendant was liable in excess of $2.5 Million Dollars for extensive injuries to their client. As a result of their success on obtaining a full dismissal, Lydecker is now in a position to seek attorney’s fees and costs on the basis of an expired proposal for settlement.
