ORLANDO — Two Orlando property owners are suing an insurer, alleging refusal to apply payments for hurricane damage.

Christopher Eveland and Yomarit Eveland filed a complaint May 31 in Orange County Circuit Court against Monarch National Insurance Company, alleging failure to adequately provide coverage under the policy.

According to the complaint, on Sept. 11, 2017, the Evelands' property at 526 S. Apopka Vineland Road, Orlando, sustained a covered loss due to Hurricane Irma while the insurance policy was in full force and effect, and all conditions precedent were complied with. 

Despite acknowledging the claim, the suit says, Monarch National has failed to adequately provide coverage under the terms of the policy. As a result, the Evelands continue to suffer damages. The plaintiffs allege Monarch National Insurance failed to adequately provide coverage under the terms of the policy, which is due and owing.

The Evelands seek trial by jury, damages that exceed $15,000, exclusive of interest, court costs, attorney fees and all other relief the court deems just and proper. They are represented by attorney Juan E. Mourin of The Law Offices of Grey & Mourin, PA in Miami.
