United Automobile Insurance Company, Appellant, v. Gables Insurance Recovery, Inc., a/a/o Roberto Sanchez, Appellee.

No. 3D21-2252

Decided: January 18, 2023

Before HENDON, GORDO and BOKOR, JJ.

Michael J. Neimand, for appellant. The Billbrough Firm, and G. Bart Billbrough, for appellee.

Affirmed. See Fayad v. Univ. of Miami, 307 So. 3d 114, 118 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020) (“A trial court's denial of a motion to amend a complaint is generally an abuse of discretion unless (1) the privilege to amend has been abused, (2) the amendment would prejudice the opposing party, or (3) the amendment would be futile.”); Grove Isle Ass'n, Inc. v. Grove Isle Assocs., LLLP, 137 So. 3d 1081, 1095 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014) (same); see also Bldg. B1, LLC v. Component Repair Servs., Inc., 224 So. 3d 785, 789 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) (recognizing that Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.190’s liberal amendment policy diminishes as a case progresses to trial and, based on the prejudice to the opposing party, finding no abuse of discretion in the trial court's decision given the lateness of the request to amend).
