Barbara Bain filed a complaint on March 24 in the 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida - Orange County against Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Co. alleging breach of contract.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that her residence was damaged by water on March 25, 2016, while her insurance policy was in full force and effect. The suit states the defendant's representative estimated the damage at $4,083.38, as opposed to the estimated $17,431.80 done by plaintiff.
