GEICO INDEMNITY COMPANY v. QUALITY DIAGNOSTIC HEALTHCARE INC (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

GEICO INDEMNITY COMPANY, et al., Appellants, v. QUALITY DIAGNOSTIC HEALTHCARE INC., etc., Appellee.

No. 3D21-0013

Decided: August 11, 2021

Before EMAS, MILLER, and LOBREE, JJ.

Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP, and John P. Marino, and Kristen L. Wenger, and Drew Krieger, and Lindsey R. Trowell, and Edward K. Cottrell (Jacksonville), for appellants. Christian Carrazana, P.A., and Christian Carrazana, for appellee.

Through these consolidated appeals, appellant, Geico Indemnity Company, challenges a series of final judgments entered in favor of appellee, Quality Diagnostic Healthcare, Inc. Geico contends the lower tribunal erred in interpreting section 672.736(1)(a)(5), Florida Statutes. Recognizing the able trial court did not have the benefit of our decision in Geico General Insurance Co. v. Beacon Healthcare Center Inc., 298 So. 3d 1235 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020) at the time judgment was rendered, we agree and reverse and remand the orders under review for further proceedings in accordance with this binding precedent.

Reversed and remanded.

PER CURIAM.
