Practice Areas & Industries: Stephens Lynn Klein LaCava & Puya, P.A.

Practice/Industry Group Overview

The firm has a division that is devoted to the prosecution and defense of first party and third party coverage matters, including rescission issues. That division of the firm assists carriers in their preliminary compliance with Florida's Insurance Code in order to avoid potential waiver of defenses, given the strict timetables that are set forth in Florida's non-waiver statute. In that regard, the firm has lectured to a number of different insurance carriers to acquaint them with procedures which must be utilized to avoid a potential waiver. Where coverage opinions are provided, the firm is then prepared to prosecute actions for declaratory decree or rescission, with an integrated unit that utilizes both trial and appellate attorneys working together to both prepare an appropriate record and to otherwise secure favorable rulings on appeal where questions of policy interpretation are presented for the first time before Florida or Federal Courts.
