Attorney files 17 lawsuits per day against insurance companies

If the Florida insurance litigation industry was a factory, churning out lawsuits against insurance companies, it would crush competitors — nearly every state — in output. 

Examples are myriad: Miami attorney Isabel Arias, with The Cohen Law Group, filed 1,588 lawsuits against insurance firms in the six months from October through March, according to a Florida Office of Insurance Regulation report. Another attorney, Coconut Grove-based Anthony Lopez, filed 1,959 lawsuits against insurance companies in the same period. And Kevin Weisser, with Weisser Elazar & Kantor in Fort Lauderdale, filed 2,081 lawsuits against insurance firms in those six months — roughly an average of 17 lawsuits per each day the courthouse was open.
