Altman Contractors, Inc. v. Crum & Forster Specialty Insurance Company

Summary

The court held that Florida’s chapter 558 notice-and-repair process qualifies as an “alternative dispute resolution proceeding” within the commercial general liability policy’s definition of “suit.” Because the policy requires the insured to submit to that proceeding with the insurer’s consent, the court did not decide whether the insurer consented in this case and remanded for further proceedings.
