Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Co. v. Beville and Beville II, Inc.

27 Fla. L. Weekly D1808 (Fla. 4th DCA August 16, 2002)

The Fourth District Court of Appeal held that once an insurance company reserves its right to deny coverage, the insured had the right to take control of the case and defend his/her interests. In addition, even if the insured violated the notice provision in the insurance policy, the insurance company has suffered no prejudice as a result of that violation and cannot defend its duty to reimburse the insured's expenses.
