Macola v. Government Employees Insurance Co.

no. 05-1021

Hillsborough County

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has certified two questions of Florida law for the state Supreme Court to answer before the federal court can resolve an appeal in a federal lawsuit filed by Michelle Macola and Inge Quigley against GEICO. The questions concern when bad-faith claims are allowed against an insurer under Florida statute and common law.
