Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Company v. West Naze

Case No. 4D2024-0098

The Fourth DCA reversed a breach-of-contract judgment against a property insurer after the trial court repeatedly admitted claims-handling evidence — including the insurer's delay in assigning an adjuster and internal communications — despite the insured having pleaded only breach of contract and no bad faith. The case is remanded for new trial.
