The decision is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntoninsurancerecoveryblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2018\/01\/Pin-Pon_Final_judgement.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At trial, the plaintiff&#8217;s architect testified that the total pricing for the code upgrades was $6.2 million. On appeal, the appellate court ruled that plaintiff&#8217;s Exhibit 98, an Upgrade Insurance Claim, was improperly admitted as a business record. The appellate court stated that the jury may have considered Exhibit 98 in determining the amount of code upgrade damages. Therefore, the verdict was reversed and remanded for a trial on the code upgrade damages only.<\/p>\n<p>On remand, the plaintiff presented testimony from its architect that the code upgrades were required by the 2004 Florida Building Code because the storm damaged more than 50% of the aggregate area of the building. Another witness testified that the amount of code upgrade damages sustained by the plaintiff and submitted to Landmark was $6.2 million. The testimony and documentary evidence submitted by the plaintiff showed that the cost analysis and methodology used in preparing it was accurate.<\/p>\n<p>Landmark did not present any testimony regarding the scope of code upgrade repairs required by the building code. Nor did Landmark present any testimony establishing that plaintiff&#8217;s claimed damages were unreasonable or unnecessary. Therefore, Pin-Pon was allowed to recover from Landmark the amount of $5,644,668.79, together with statutory interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tred R.
