Elisa Gonzales v. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation

Case No. 3D24-1842

The Third DCA affirmed summary judgment for Citizens Property Insurance in a named perils wind-damage claim, applying settled rules that the insured bears the burden to prove a covered peril caused the loss, that a sham affidavit contradicting deposition testimony cannot defeat summary judgment, and that unpreserved arguments may not be raised for the first time on appeal.
