How would you want to spend your Valentine\u2019s Day? Surely, it wouldn\u2019t be dealing with extensive damage to your home from leaking sewer pipes. However, that\u2019s exactly how the Millers spent theirs in 2016.<\/p>

When the Millers discovered the leaking pipe, they knew that not only would they have a big task on their hands on Valentine\u2019s Day but that they needed to call their homeowners insurance company for help. After all, they had been dutifully paying their premiums for just this type of problem: costly repairs to their home.<\/p>

There was even more bad new to come though: The Millers\u2019 insurance company denied their claim. Facing a home damaged with sewer water and mounting bills, the Millers couldn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>

\u201cMy family and I were abandoned by those we paid to protect us,\u201d Steve Miller said. \u201cMy wife and I felt helpless with nowhere to turn.\u201d<\/p>

However, the \u201cno\u201d from the insurance company was only the beginning of a story that would end with a Florida jury awarding the Millers almost twice the cost of repairs and holding their insurance company, American Integrity Insurance Company of Florida, accountable for violating the Millers\u2019 trust.<\/p>

\u2018… Hopeful for the First Time\u2026\u2019<\/strong><\/p>

The insurance company\u2019s denial of the Millers\u2019 claim was a blow, and not just because it spoiled their Valentine\u2019s Day. They had rotting walls, mold, and other damage that a family simply can\u2019t live with, but that isn\u2019t cheap to fix. This was the kind of circumstance for which insurance exists.<\/p>

The Millers\u2019 homeowners insurance policy included coverage to protect them against those losses, but American Integrity rejected their claim.<\/p>

The tide started to turn when someone referred the Millers to Mark Nation and our attorneys at The Nation Law Firm. The Millers said that when they spoke to The Nation Law Firm they started feeling \u201chopeful for the first time during this experience.\u201d<\/p>

Nation and his team took the insurance company to court, arguing before a jury that American Integrity was obligated to pay out on the claim. The policy clearly covered the water damage to the Millers\u2019 home, even though the insurance company fought desperately to convince the jury otherwise.<\/p>

It was increasingly clear which way the jury leaned, when 30 minutes into deliberations they asked if it was possible to award the Millers more than what attorney Mark Nation had requested, and if there was any cap on what they could award.<\/p>

Not Just a Pipe Dream<\/strong><\/p>

When the verdict finally came, it was a win for the Miller family. The three-day trial culminated in a $35,476 verdict in the Millers\u2019 favor, almost double what they had requested. The Millers were pleased.<\/p>

\u201cThe experience of having to fight for a denied claim is not something we’d wish upon anybody, but our experience with Nation Law was exceptional,\u201d Steve Miller said. \u201cThey are a firm with high morals and dignity, unlike the insurance company that denied us the protection that we paid for.\u201d<\/p>

Nation, an experienced and well-respected trial attorney, was also pleased with the victory he won for the Millers.<\/p>

\u201cIf there is one thing I could tell people, it would be this: If your insurance company denies your claim, do not be intimidated, and do not give up,\u201d Nation said. \u201cEvery insurance case I\u2019ve ever won all have one thing in common. They all started with \u2018No.\u2019 \u2018No\u2019 isn\u2019t the end of the inquiry; it\u2019s just the beginning. In fact, I can\u2019t win until your insurance company says \u2018No.\u2019\u201d<\/p>
