Gallardo v. Tower Hill Signature Ins. Co.

Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida Opinion filed October 18, 2017. ________________ No. 3D17-388 Lower Tribunal No. 15-14701 ________________ Marlene Gallardo, Appellant, vs. Tower Hill Signature Insurance Company, Appellee. An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Jorge E. Cueto, Judge. Mario Serralta & Associates and Mario Serralta, for appellant. Methe & Rockenbach and Kara Berard Rockenbach (West Palm Beach), for appellee. Before LAGOA, EMAS and SCALES, JJ. PER CURIAM. Marlene Gallardo appeals the trial court’s entry of final summary judgment in favor of appellee, Tower Hill Signature Insurance Company. Appellee properly and commendably concedes error in light of this court’s recent decisions Siegel v. Tower Hill Signature Ins. Co., No. 3D16-1861 (Fla. 3d DCA Aug. 30, 2017) and Francis v. Tower Hill Prime Ins. Co., 42 Fla. L. Weekly D1565 (Fla. 3d DCA July 12, 2017), each of which was issued after the trial court’s entry of judgment in the instant case. Given appellee’s concession of error, and upon our own review of the record in this case, genuine issues of material fact remain in dispute and we therefore reverse the final summary judgment and remand for further proceedings. 2
