Scope and Extent of Insurance Coverage<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The scope and extent of insurance coverage is determined by the language of the insurance policy.

Not policy defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>A policy defense is an assertion that the terms of the insurance contract do not provide for coverage<\/u>.<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>AIU Ins. Co. v. Block Marina Inv., Inc.,<\/em>&nbsp;544 So. 2d 998, 1000 (Fla. 1989).&nbsp;<strong>For example, a policy defense exists where the insuring agreement is not triggered, such as when a person does not qualify as an insured or when a vehicle does not qualify as a covered auto. Other examples include where an exclusion applies, or when a loss occurs outside of the policy period.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On the other hand,&nbsp;<u>a&nbsp;coverage defense involves forfeiture of insurance coverage that otherwise exists<\/u>. Coverage defenses arise where the insured fails to comply with a condition or duty required by the policy, such as failing to cooperate, committing fraud, or failing to provide prompt notice. It is based on some action or inaction of the insured after the loss.<\/strong>&nbsp;Grigsby,&nbsp;<em>supra,<\/em>&nbsp;at 8 (\u201cIt focuses on the insured\u2019s behavior, post-loss in particular.\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fojon, supra<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When it comes to a coverage defense, an insurer must comply with Florida\u2019s Claims Administration Statute. \u201cIf it does not, it is estopped from asserting the coverage defense \u2013 a breach of a policy condition that would forfeiture coverage. It can still, however, assert a policy defense \u2013 a defense of no coverage.\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Fojon, supra<\/em>&nbsp;(internal citation omitted).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in this coverage dispute, the insurer relied on a policy defense in denying coverage and its defense of the insured, not a coverage defense . \u201cTherefore, the Claims Administration Statute does not apply, and it does not bar [insurer] from denying coverage.\u201d\u00a0<em>Fojon, supra<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When one of your cases is in need of a construction expert, estimates, insurance appraisal or umpire services in defect or insurance disputes &#8211;
