Randy Lamz v. GEICO General Insurance Co.

no. 00-492

Broward County


In 1996 Lamz was a passenger in a car driven by his wife when they became involved in an accident. They sued the driver, the car owner, and GEICO, which was the Lamz' underinsured motorist carrier. At trial the judge introduced GEICO, which was a defendant, as plaintiff's insurer. On appeal, the Lamzes argued that this was reversible error. The Fourth District disagreed.
