ORLANDO — An Apokpa property owner is suing a liability insurer, alleging breach of contract regarding property damage.

Efrain Duany filed a complaint Nov. 29 in Orange County Circuit Court against American Security Insurance Company, alleging failure to pay all benefits due under the terms of the policy.

According to the complaint, on Nov. 30, 2013, Duany found progressive physical damage to the walls and floors of his insured property at 1306 Prairie Lane in Apopka.
