Manuel V. Feijoo, M.D., P.A. a/a/o Roberto Gonzalez,
Appellant,
vs.
Infinity Indemnity Insurance Company,
Appellee.
An Appeal from the County Court for Miami-Dade County, Gloria
Gonzalez-Meyer, Judge.
George David P.A., and Christian Carrazana, for appellant.
Law Offices of Terry M. Torres & Associates, and Robert Phaneuf, for
appellee.
Before FERNANDEZ, LOGUE and BOKOR, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Infinity Auto Ins. Co. v. Miami Open MRI, LLC, 361 So.
3d 954, 956 (Fla. 3d DCA 2023) (“Amador’s failure to submit to a properly
noticed examination under oath, in accordance with the policy’s PIP
endorsement and section 627.736(6)(g), barred receipt of benefits.
Moreover, because submitting to an examination under oath is a condition
precedent to receipt of PIP benefits under section 627.736(6)(g) and the
policy at issue, prejudice is not an element of Infinity Auto’s affirmative
defense to Miami Open’s claim for services . . . .” (citation omitted)); Am.
Integrity Ins. Co. v. Estrada, 276 So. 3d 905, 916 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019)
(“[W]hen an insurer has alleged, as an affirmative defense to coverage, and
thereafter has subsequently established, that an insured has failed to
substantially comply with a contractually mandated post-loss obligation,
prejudice to the insurer from the insured’s material breach is presumed, and
the burden then shifts to the insured to show that any breach of post-loss
obligations did not prejudice the insurer.”); Univ. Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co. v.
Horne, 314 So. 3d 688, 693 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (rejecting argument that
insurer’s acknowledgement of coverage and issuance of payment to insured
waived affirmative defense of failure to comply with post-loss obligation of
examination under oath).
