916 So. 2d 44 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2005)

Opinion

No. 3D05-904.

December 7, 2005.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Jeri B. Cohen, Judge.

Mark A. Gatica, for appellant.

Jones Wolfe, P.A. and K.P. Jones (Plantation), for appellee.

Before GREEN, FLETCHER, and RAMIREZ, JJ.


On the record before us, we cannot conclude that the lower court abused its discretion when it awarded the appellee a 2.0 multiplier on an attorney's fee award in the instant action for a determination of coverage under a policy issued by the appellant insurer. See Holiday v. Nationwide Mutual Fire Ins., 864 So.2d 1215 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004); United Auto. Ins. Co. v. Padron, 775 So.2d 372 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000).

Affirmed.
