How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding the insurer liable for statutory penalties where the insurer paid PIP benefits more than thirty days after receipt of the claim
• finding insurer only paid bills that unquestionably qualified for benefits under the policy after the insured initiated underlying suit over three months after the insurer had been properly notified of the claims
• “Section 627.736(4)(b) unambiguously states that an insurer, who fails to pay out benefits within thirty days of receiving proper notice, will be liable to the insured.”
• burden to verify claim within 30 days is on insurer, and insurer could not excuse its noncompliance with this statutory requirement based on insured's failure to submit claim on approved in-house claims form
