Head Matter:
UNITED AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellant, v. Benita E. PADRON, et al., Appellees.
No. 3D99-2644.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Nov. 22, 2000.
Perez, Goran & Rodriguez and Luis N. Perez, Coral Gables, for appellant.
Laurie S. Moss, Davie, and Diane H. Tutt, Plantation, for appellees.
Before GODERICH and SORONDO, JJ., and NESBITT, Senior Judge.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Because the appellant has failed to demonstrate that the trial court abused its discretion by determining the lodestar amount of attorneys' fees or by applying a 1.5 contingency risk multiplier, we affirm the award of attorneys' fees. See Centex-Rooney Constr. Co. v. Martin County, 725 So.2d 1255 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999).
Affirmed.
