Numerous Force-Placed Insurance Class Action Cases

The Moskowitz Law Firm has served as co-lead counsel in 31 nationwide class actions filed in various courts across the country against the largest banks and insurers on behalf of millions of homeowners for claims of force-placed insurance. The settlements have already provided $5.9 billion in relief to 5.3 million homeowners nationwide.

Led by Adam M. Moskowitz, The Moskowitz Law Firm currently represents several other consumers in pending nationwide FPI cases.

Recently, the Firm successfully secured settlements which were granted final approval by the U.S. District Court of New Jersey for two force-placed class action cases (Case No. 3:l7-cv-06668 and Case No. 3:17-cv-O6677). The two cases mark the Firm’s 29th and 30th national class settlements, which have been granted final approval in states such as New Jersey and by courts across the country.

These latest settlements not only add to the total monetary relief the Firm has won for its plaintiffs, but have further solidified important injunctive changes regarding overcharges for force-placed insurance, basically ending all of these practices nationwide. 

The attorneys at The Moskowitz Law Firm are proud to stand with homeowners who have been wrongfully treated by many of the country’s major mortgage lenders/servicers and lender-placed insurance providers.

Florida Power & Light Water Main Break Litigation

When a contractor hired by Florida Power & Light (FP&L) negligently caused a Water Main Break in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, more than 200,000 people were deprived of clean, potable water, forcing business to cease operations and causing extensive damages. The Moskowitz Law Firm’s class action lawsuit sought to force the responsible contractors to pay for the damages they caused through their wanton, reckless, and grossly negligent conduct.

The Moskowitz Law Firm attained the first reported decision since the Florida Supreme Court decided Engle v. Liggett Group, Inc., affirming a litigated certification of a liability issue class. Infratech Corp. v. Las Olas Co., 320 So. 3d 751 (Fla. 4th DCA 2021). The Firm then attained a jury verdict finding the contractor 98% liable for the class’s damages. The 17th Judicial Circuit Court then finally approved a class action settlement that paid damages to all class members who submitted valid claims and included valuable injunctive relief.

The Court noted that the Firm’s “reputation, diligence, expertise, and skill are reflected in the excellent results they have achieved.”

The Moskowitz Law Firm conducted extensive discovery in this case and was able to efficiently resolve the dispute despite potential hurdles presented in over a year of litigation.

On November 18, 2020, the District Court finally approved a nationwide class action settlement that resolved 6 pending class actions, which placed requirements on how the Wisconsin-based company can represent that Prevagen improves memory or limits age-related memory problems and provided partial refunds to 3 million Quincy Bioscience customers of up to $70 with proof of purchase and up to $12 without.

Adam M. Moskowitz and his team faced heavy litigation efforts by both the defense and counsel in parallel actions, including extensive discovery and an effort to consolidate and transfer the action before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, but were able to surmount all potential difficulties and bring the matters to an effective and favorable resolution after nearly a year and a half of litigation.

eBay Price Gouging Litigation

The Moskowitz Law Firm and its partners brought suit in federal court against E-commerce giant eBay Inc. to face allegations of price gouging high-demand products during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite vowing to curb price gouging on its platform, eBay continues to encourage the practice because it charges a “final value fee” based on the price of the product sold. 

Adam M. Moskowitz and his team filed suit in federal court in the Northern District of California on behalf of a nationwide class of consumers and Jeanette Mercado, a California driver for Lyft and Uber who bought a two-pack of N95 masks on eBay for $23.98, with the same product selling at other national retailers for no more than $8.99.
