FLORIDA INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION v. FICHTE (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

FLORIDA INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION, Appellant, v. Kimberly A. FICHTE, Appellee.

No. 1D20-3146

Decided: July 28, 2021

Frank B. Hassell of Hassell-Legal, P.A., Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Steven E. Gurian of Marin, Eljaiek, Lopez, & Martinez, P.L., Coconut Grove, for Appellee.

We affirm the trial court's order enforcing the settlement agreement except for the trial court's failure to apply the statutory $100 deductible to the global settlement amount of $20,000. See § 631.57(1)(a)2., Fla. Stat. (2019). Based on Appellee's confession of error, we reverse and remand with directions that the trial court order Appellant to pay $19,900 to Appellee.

Affirmed in part; Reversed in part; and Remanded with directions.

Per Curiam.

Rowe, C.J., and Roberts and Jay, JJ., concur.
