CMS law Group Wins Case Against Citizens Insurance
January 5, 2022 — A Boca Raton couple was awarded over $100,000 in a Hurricane Irma damage case after their claim was denied by Citizens Insurance.
In March 2019, plaintiff Alyssa Lerner and her husband, plaintiff Jeffrey Lerner, discovered that a leak had damaged their home, which was located in Boca Raton. The leak was a result of damage of the home’s roof. The Lerners suspected that the damage had been created on Sept. 10, 2017, when Hurricane Irma struck the Boca Raton area. The Lerners sought reimbursement from their insurer, Citizens Property Insurance Corp., but the claim was denied.
The Lerners sued Citizens Property Insurance. The lawsuit alleged that the Lerners’ claim was improperly denied. The lawsuit further alleged that the claim’s denial constituted a breach of the insurance contract.
