Opinion

Union Restoration, Inc. appeals the grant of final summary judgment for Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. Union Restoration sued for insurance benefits that it claimed were assigned to it by the insured. The record reflects that the written assignment upon which Union Restoration relied did not assign the insureds right to the claim at issue. Indeed, Union Restoration altered the written assignment by changing the date of the claimed loss, changing the number of the claim several times, and adding the insureds initials to the alterations. In these circumstances, we have no difficultly in upholding the summary judgment for Citizens. Gonzalez v. Citizens Prop. Ins. Corp., 273 So. 3d 1031 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019); Progressive Express Ins. Co. v. McGrath Cmty. Chiropractic, 913 So. 2d 1281 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005).

Affirmed.
