    11th Circ. Limits $1M Payout For Sheriff In Parkland Shooting

    The Eleventh Circuit limited a Florida sheriff's office's responsibility to only $1 million in a lawsuit involving a 2018 high school mass shooting, saying its insurer must pay the excess damages to the victims and families who were impacted by the event, which left 17 people dead and several more injured.

    Insurer Says Parkland Mass Shooting Was Multiple Occurrences

    Evanston Insurance Co. told the Eleventh Circuit on Wednesday that a lower court erred when it said the term "occurrences" in an excess policy for the Broward Sheriff's Office was ambiguous and granted a win to the insured, which argued the 2018 mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida, school was one occurrence, not several.
