Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Company v. Orlando Cisneros Dameras
The Third DCA affirmed the lodestar fee computation but reversed the trial court's application of a 2.5 contingency risk multiplier, holding the record contained no competent substantial evidence that the relevant market required a multiplier to obtain competent counsel. The court also reversed costs taxed for two retained experts who prepared for trial but did not testify, as unauthorized under section 92.231(2).
