Apex Roofing and Restoration LLC a/a/o Monica Williams v. United Services Automobile Association

Case No. 1D2022-3990

Apex Roofing sued USAA for statutory bad faith as assignee under an AOB; the trial court dismissed, following the Fourth District's Kidwell Group decision holding that section 627.7152(2)(a) requires the itemized per-unit cost estimate to be provided at the time the AOB is signed (here the estimate was dated a day later). The First District reversed, holding the validity of the AOB — including whether the two documents formed one agreement and whether USAA waived or is estopped from contesting validity — presents factual questions not resolvable on a motion to dismiss, and expressly signaled disagreement with Kidwell's reading of the statute.
