An insurer for the city of Miami filed a lawsuit in a federal district court in South Florida seeking a declaratory judgment that it has no duty under its insurance policies to defend, and, therefore, to pay out money in response to litigation largely involving one city commissioner.
Rory Eric Jurman, a partner at Hinshaw & Culbertson in Fort Lauderdale, is the lead attorney for the plaintiff, QBE Specialty Insurance Co., who sued more than two dozen defendants, including the city, Miami-Dade Commissioner Joe Carollo, Associate City Attorney Victoria Mendez, and Little Havana business owners William Fuller and Martin Pinilla.
