Gunn Law Group Founding Parnter Lee D. Gunn IV to Present on Civil Remedy Notices at 2025 FJA Webinar
Successfully handling insurance bad faith claims in Florida requires more than proving wrongdoing it requires navigating strict procedural rules that can determine whether a case succeeds or fails. One of the most critical of those steps is drafting a proper Civil Remedy Notice (CRN).
Recognizing the importance of this process, Lee D. Gunn IV, founding attorney of Gunn Law Group, was selected to present at the 2025 Civil Remedy Notices Webinar, hosted by the Florida Justice Association (FJA). The program brings together experienced trial attorneys from across the state to discuss best practices, common pitfalls, and strategic considerations when drafting Civil Remedy Notices under Florida law.
Why Civil Remedy Notices Matter
In Florida, a Civil Remedy Notice is a statutory prerequisite to pursuing certain insurance bad faith claims. If drafted incorrectly, a CRN can undermine even the strongest underlying case. Courts strictly scrutinize these notices, and technical mistakes can jeopardize a client’s ability to recover damages even after a successful verdict.
That risk is precisely why education and experience matter when handling these cases.
Lee D. Gunn IV’s Presentation: Avoiding Common Malpractice Traps
During the webinar, Lee Gunn presented on “Avoiding Common Malpractice Traps” in the drafting and filing of Civil Remedy Notices. His presentation focused on helping attorneys avoid errors that can turn a strong case into a costly legal setback.
Key themes of his presentation included:
- When a Civil Remedy Notice is required, and when it is not
- Common drafting mistakes that expose cases to dismissal or limitation of damages
- Strategic considerations in what to include (and what not to include) in a CRN
- How improper notice language can affect coverage disputes and bad faith claims
- Best practices to protect both the client’s recovery and counsel’s professional obligations
Drawing from real world litigation experience, Lee Gunn emphasized that Civil Remedy Notices are not merely procedural filings, but strategic legal documents that must be handled with care and precision.
A Program Featuring Statewide Expertise
In addition to Lee Gunn’s presentation, the webinar featured insights from other experienced Florida attorneys addressing Civil Remedy Notice strategy in both first party and third party insurance cases. Together, the speakers provided a comprehensive look at how CRNs function across different claim types and litigation contexts.
The program was approved for 3.5 CLE credits, including Civil Trial and Appellate Practice Certification credits underscoring the technical depth and professional significance of the subject matter.
