Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 15, 1988 · Glickstein, Gunther, Walden
526 So. 2d 1009; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 2496; 1988 WL 59592 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Wellington Insurance Co. v. Crystal Farms Unlimited

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED.

WALDEN and GUNTHER, JJ., concur. GLICKSTEIN, J., concurs specially with opinion.

Concurring Opinion

GLICKSTEIN, Judge,

concurring specially.

We have affirmed the trial court’s denial of the insurer’s motion to dismiss. The trial court determined Florida had personal jurisdiction over the Canadian insurer.

The basis for the jurisdiction is section 48.193(l)(g), Florida Statutes (1987). The insurer was defending its Canadian insured in Florida because of an accident which occurred here. The allegation of the plaintiff insured is that its insurer acted in bad faith by refusing to settle within the policy limits, resulting in an excess judgment against the insured.
