Fort Myers, Florida – Boatman Ricci is proud to announce a significant trial victory in Daniel and Kim Morrison v. Donald and Rickie Harless (Glades County Case No. 2022-CA-105). Following a multi-day trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Boatman Ricci’s clients, awarding $400,000 in compensatory damages and $40,000 in punitive damages.
The case centered on the sale of a residential property that had suffered severe water damage and pervasive mold growth. Rather than properly remediate the issues, the sellers concealed the damage behind cosmetic renovations and failed to disclose the home’s history to the buyers.
Boatman Ricci Trial Attorney Daniel Hogan, along with Attorney Neely Brown, successfully argued that the sellers had breached the contract, failed to disclose material facts, and engaged in fraudulent concealment.
“This verdict reflects the jury’s recognition that homebuyers deserve honesty and transparency,” said Daniel Hogan. “We are proud to have secured justice for our clients and to hold the sellers accountable for their misconduct.”
The jury’s award underscores the seriousness of fraudulent concealment in real estate transactions and sends a clear message that bad actors will be held responsible.
