On September 17, 2021, a jury in Broward County Circuit Court returned a verdict in favor of our clients who were forced from their first floor condominium unit in Palm Aire, Building 27, in Pompano Beach in 2016 after experiencing significant water intrusion into their home which originated from a condo unit located on the third floor above theirs.  The jury award was in excess of $ 101,000 for personal property damage, loss of use and the inconvenience for being forced from their home.
