Insurance -- Personal injury protection -- Demand letter -- Failure to include in demand letter amounts allegedly paid by insurer, but which medical provider denies having received, does not render demand letter deficient -- PIP statute does not require provider to calculate exact amount previously paid by insurer and amount due, and lack of accounting for prior payments did not prejudice insurer that made those payments by depriving it of opportunity to adjust claim for second time and avoid litigation

THIS CAUSE came before the Court for hearing on October 21, 2016 on Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment on compliance with Florida Statutes § 627.736(10), and Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgement as to Invalid Pre-Suit Demand Letter. The Court, having reviewed the motions and entire Court file, read relevant legal authority; heard argument, and been sufficiently advised in the premises, finds as follows:
On Friday of last week, October 9th, our personal injury professional law team went to Children's Diagnostic and Treatment Center and volunteered to help assemble packets of sponsor material and donation forms. The packets were placed underneath seats at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday evening for a one-time performance of "Ichariba Chode," a journey by way of theatrical drumming, dance, and martial arts from throughout the Asian Pacific. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the event went to CDTC, a deserving not-for-profit organization. Our personal injury law firm team, PIPLEGAL, is always happy to volunteer at CDTC, whose programs provide medical assistance to children in need and support families with critically ill children.

State Farm Insurance, Florida's dominant auto insurance company, also has become the most aggressive defense litigator in county courts with its cases dominating court calendars.
Personal injury protection lawyers for policyholders claim State Farm's strategy amounts to harassment of medical providers assigned the right to sue for reimbursement and makes it financially untenable for some providers to pursue what they were owed.
Ross Abramowitz, a Fort Lauderdale PIP attorney, said he first noticed a change in State Farm legal tactics in 2012. Plaintiffs attorneys contend company attorneys rely on unnecessarily lengthy and intrusive depositions.
"It was about two years ago that it really started to affect county court dockets and clog them up," Abramowitz said.
Insurance Personal injury protection Coverage Medical expenses By using confusing language providing for payment of 80% of reasonable expenses while also referencing “other payment guidelines in No Fault Law,” “any schedule and limitations under federal or state law for medical expenses,” and “various sources of information” to determine if medical expense is “reasonable,” insurer failed to satisfy requirement that election to use permissive statutory fee schedule be made in manner so that insured and medical providers would be aware of it

July 23, 2013. Sharon L. Zeller, Judge. Counsel: Ross Abramowitz, Shuster and Saben, LCC., Fort Lauderdale, for Plaintiff. Louis Shulman, Dutton Law Group, P.A., Tampa, for Defendant.
THIS CAUSE having come before the court on Defendant's Motion for Final Summary Disposition or Summary Judgment and Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, and the Court having considered the Motions, reviewed the court file, relevant legal authorities, being apprised of the joint stipulation between the parties that permits a final judgment in favor of Plaintiff upon the granting of Summary Judgment in Plaintiff's favor and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, the court finds as follows:
This case involves competing interpretations of a PIP insurance policy. Plaintiff's interpretation would result in Defendant having to pay more on the medical bill submitted, and Defendant's interpretation would result in a finding that the lesser amount it paid complied with the policy.
