TOTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATES LLC v. GEICO GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

TOTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATES, LLC a/a/o Sandra Alfaro, Appellant, v. GEICO GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee.
Total Health Associates, LLC a/a/o Gerard Hiavacek, Appellant, v. GEICO General Insurance Company, Appellee.

No. 4D21-2271, No. 4D21-2273

Decided: December 08, 2021

Chad A. Barr of Chad Barr Law, Altamonte Springs, for appellants. No appearance for appellee.

In these consolidated cases, the county court sua sponte entered orders transferring venue without any showing that plaintiff's chosen venue was improper or that transfer was appropriate on forum non conveniens grounds. We conclude that these cases are controlled by Advanced Diagnostic Group v. Ocean Harbor Casualty Insurance Co., 321 So. 3d 772 (Fla. 4th DCA 2021). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.

Per Curiam.

Gross, Forst and Klingensmith, JJ., concur.
