When our clients submitted their damage claim to Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, Citizens quickly hired a group of “pocket” engineers and geologists who rendered the opinion that our clients’ damage was not covered under the policy. This claim was then submitted to the Neutral Evaluation process, and the Neutral Evaluator also rendered the opinion that our clients’ loss was not covered under the policy.
After a four-day jury trial, the jury ultimately rendered a verdict in favor of our clients and awarded our clients every penny that we asked for in our closing arguments. Even beyond awarding our clients everything we asked for, the jury then hand wrote onto their verdict form some additional damages which we had (apparently) convinced them to award to our clients!
