Alessio v. Florida Insurance Guaranty Ass'n

BLACK, Judge.

John D. Alessio, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Paola Garza, appeals the entry of final summary judgment rendered in favor of the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA). FIGA assumed the handling of the Estate’s claim from insolvent insurance carrier, First Commercial Insurance Company (FCIC), which had reached a settlement with the Estate. Because we find that the Estate’s claim both arose out of the insurance policy and was within the coverage and limits of the policy, we reverse and remand for entry of judgment in favor of the Estate.
