Cassel & Cassel Secures an Appellate Win!

Posted by Michael A. Cassel | Feb 21, 2024 | 0 Comments

We are proud to announce that the Third Distrcit Court of Appeal just Per Curium Affirmed our most recent appeal in the case of Universal v. Jimaca Investments. There were two issues at play:

1) Whether matching damages were awardable under an all-risk policy when the trigger language notes that the policy provides coverage for direct, physical loss; and

2) Whether the jury verdict was supported to compitent evidence.

In obtaining the PCA, we successfully defendant our client's trial court win which will allow our client to recover the benefits awarded by the jury, plus interest.
