The Florida Supreme Court denied review of a Fourth District Court of Appeal’s decision in State Farm Florida Insurance v. Richard Moody and Robert Denney, finding that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case on review.
The Florida Supreme Court’s denial April 29 leaves in place the Fourth DCA’s decision invoking the age-old four-corners rule to hold that a hurricane coverage endorsement limiting the amount an insured is able to recover for hurricane damage applies to all elements of a hurricane, including tornadoes spawned therefrom, where the policy defines hurricane as a “storm system that has been declared to be a hurricane by the National Hurricane Center of the National Weather Service.”
