Recently, a judge awarded a Boca Raton couple $107,000 in a property damage dispute to their home with Citizens Property Insurance
In March 2019, plaintiff Jeffrey and Alyssa Lerner, discovered that a leak had damaged their home, located in Boca Raton. The leak was a result of damage of the home’s roof. The Lerner’s suspected that the damage was created on Sept. 10, 2017, when Hurricane Irma struck the Boca Raton area. The Lerner’s filed a property insurance claim against Citizens but the claim was denied.
The Lerner’s sued Citizens Property Insurance claiming that the Lerner’s’ claim was improperly denied. The Lerner’s claimed that they had not experienced a damaging roof leak prior to March 2019. The lawsuit further alleged that the claim’s denial constituted a breach of the insurance contract.
Plaintiffs’ counsel contended that Irma damaged some 130 of the Lerner’s’ roof tiles and resultantly caused a leak that damaged the home’s kitchen, the home’s garage, a bathroom and a bedroom.
The Lerner’s’ expert meteorologist opined that Irma produced sustained winds of 50 to 51 mph, with gusts reaching 90 to 91 mph. The Lerner’s’ expert roofer examined the damaged roof tiles, and he opined that the damage’s nature suggested that it had been caused by hurricane-force winds.
