`that provided coverage for the losses and/or damages suffered by the Plaintiffs.
`
`7.
`
`8.
`
`A certified copy of the Policy,EDH 5006902, is attached as EXHIBIT "A".
`
`Under the terms of the Policy,the Defendant agreed to provide insurance
`
`coverage to the insured Property against certain losses and/or damages for which a claim
`
`was made.
`
`9.
`
`On or about September 28,2022, during the Policy period, and while the
`
`Policy was in full force and effect, the Property sustained a sudden, accidental and/or
`
`otherwise covered loss ("Covered Loss") under the Policy.
`

`
`The Defendant was duly notified of the covered loss and assigned Claim No.
`
`EDI963169.
`

`
`As of the date of filingthis lawsuit, the Defendant has failed to duly issue
`
`payment to the Plaintiffs for the covered losses and/or damages under the Policy,including,
`
`but not limited to, the actual cash value of the loss and/or damages.
`
`12.
`
`The Plaintiffs have suffered and continue to suffer damages due to the

`Notwithstanding the Plaintiffs' substantial compliance with the material
`
`conditions to payment under the Policy, and/or the Defendant's waiver thereof, the
`
`Defendant refuses to perform its duty to issue payment as indicated.

`New "Communicable Disease Exclusion" Form (EDI HO CDE 05 21)

`or alleged; directly or indirectly caused by, contributed by, resulting from, arising out of, or in

`cleanup. Please see the exclusion for further details.

`impact your premium and coverages. Should you have any questions, please contact your agent listed
`above. Changes to your policy which have been mandated by the Florida Legislature or which correct prior
`policy documents for details of
`typographical errors are not included in this notice. Please review your
`coverage.

`Checklist of Coverage
`
`Policy Type: Homeowner's
`(Indicate: Homeowner's, Condominium Unit Owner's, Tenant's, Dwelling, or Mobile Home Ownefs)
`
`The followingchecklist is for informational purposes only. Florida law prohibits this checklist from changing any of the
`provisions of the insurance contract which is the subject of this checklist. Any endorsem*nt regarding changes in types of coverage,
`exclusions, limitations, reductions, deductibles, coinsurance, renewal provisions, cancellation provisions, surcharges, or credits will
`be sent separately.
`
`Reviewing this checklist together with your policy can help you gain a better understanding of your policy's actual coverages and
`limitations,and may even generate questions. By addressing any questions now, you will be more prepared later in the event of a
`claim. Experience has shown that many questions tend to arise regarding the coverage of attached or detached screened pool
`enclosures, screened porches, and other types of enclosures. Likewise, if your policy insures a condominium unit, questions may
`arise regarding the coverage of certain items, such as individual heating and air conditioning units; individual water heaters; floor,
`wall, and ceiling coverings; built-in cabinets and counter tops; appliances; window treatments and hardware; and electrical fixtures.
`A clear understanding of your policy's coverages and limitations will reduce confusion that may arise during claims settlement.
`
`Please refer to the policy for details and any exceptions to the coverages listed in this checklist. All coverages are subject to the
