Can an insurance company void your policy over an unrelated application error and what happens when a dog owner knows their pet is dangerous but fails to act? 

In this episode of Legal Live, Florida personal injury attorneys Eddie Farah and Chuck Farah discuss insurance policy pitfalls, dog bite claims, and why accepting a quick settlement check may cost you more than you think.

They discuss:

• How insurance companies use reservation of rights and application errors to void policies - including a real case where an unrelated application answer led to a denied claim when it had nothing to do with the actual accident.
• Dog bites and dog attacks, how homeowners insurance typically covers these claims, and why victims are increasingly pursuing punitive damages when dog owners knew their pet was aggressive and failed to take action - damages that homeowners insurance typically does not cover
• A construction accident case in South Florida where the insurance company issued a lowball settlement check and falsely claimed the worker was fired before the accident occurred and how an attorney was able to prove otherwise and recover more for the victim
• A Florida court ruling involving a fertilizer company polluting Tampa Bay waters and why fishermen who lost income were unable to recover damages due to the absence of a legal duty of care
