The Florida Supreme Court has ruled that insurers can be liable for unsolicited blast faxes that violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) under a commercial general liability insurance policy.
The case, Michael Penzer etc. v. Transportation Insurance Co., stemmed from a class-action law suit brought by Michael Penzer against Nextel South Corp. for violating his and others' privacy under the TCPA when they received 24,000 unsolicited faxes from Nextel's authorized agent Southeast Wireless.
