Merly Nuñez got into a serious car accident in September 2008. A Geico customer, she requested payment of her medical bills under her policy’s personal injury protection or PIP that is required for all Florida drivers to purchase.
But Geico refused to pay, saying Nuñez failed to attend a examination under oath as a pre-requisite. Now, a federal appeals court has asked the Florida Supreme Court to address whether she was required to submit to such an interrogation under the law at that time.
