A horrible thing happened in Key West before: hurricane Wilma brought down a lot of houses, some deem to be irreparable. There were hundreds of people affected by the said catastrophe. Recently, a certain Robert Cintron, a local lawyer, filed a case against 5 insurance companies for not doing what they are supposed to do.

Mr. Lopez, a resident of Key West, lived inside a cramped trailer provided by the government for 2 years since his insurance companies fought over who was to be responsible in the said catastrophe (whether wind or flood). Cintron is said to push through with the case so as to teach irresponsible insurance companies a lesson.
