State Farm Florida Insurance Co. v. Loo
Florida District Court of Appeal
27 So. 3d 747 (2010)
- Written by Darius Dehghan, JD
Facts
State Farm Florida Insurance Company (State Farm) (plaintiff) issued an insurance policy to Jose Masvidal. The policy insured a property owned by Masvidal. Masvidal leased the property to Aleli Loo (defendant). The lease agreement stated that if the property was damaged by fire that was not caused by Loo’s negligence, Masvidal would repair the damages. A fire occurred at the property during Loo’s tenancy, and State Farm paid Masvidal for the loss. Subsequently, State Farm filed a subrogation action against Loo to recover the amount it paid to Masvidal, contending that Loo’s negligence caused the fire. Loo moved for summary judgment, and the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Loo. State Farm appealed.
