According to the complaint, on Sept. 10, 2017, the Tran and Nguyen's property insured by Florida Specialty at 1050 Oakpoint Circle, Apopka, was damaged by Hurricane Irma’s high winds.

Tran and Nguyen seek trial by jury, damages of more than $15,000, exclusive of interest, court costs and attorney fees. They are represented by attorney Jeremy R. Griner of Plant City.
