Petitioner(s) 
 
Respondent(s) 
 
Respondent’s motion for appellate attorney’s fees for services rendered in 
this Court pursuant to section 627.428, Florida Statutes (2011), is hereby 
provisionally granted and remanded to the trial court to determine the amount. 
Respondent’s additional request for a conditional award of fees and costs pursuant 
to section 768.79, Florida Statutes (2011), is hereby denied. Respondent’s motion 
for review of the Fifth District’s order denying respondent’s motion for appellate 
attorney’s fees is hereby denied as untimely pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate 
Procedure 9.400(c).  
Petitioner’s motion for appellate attorney’s fees and costs for services 
rendered in this Court pursuant to section 768.79, Florida Statutes, is hereby 
denied. 
 
PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur. 
POLSTON, C.J., dissents with an opinion, in which CANADY, J., concurs. 
 
POLSTON, C.J., dissenting. 
Because I would order the trial court to vacate the judgment against State 
Farm, I would deny Curran’s motion for attorney’s fees and grant State Farm’s  
Case No. SC12-157

motion for attorney’s fees, conditioned upon the trial court’s finding that State 
Farm is entitled to fees pursuant to its proposal for settlement.
