STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLANT,
v.
HEDLEY GEORGE CROOKS, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
The trial court suppressed the evidence in this case. We reverse. The evidence at the hearing on the motion to suppress reflects an anonymous tip that a red Ford Tempo, Florida license ZGX-653, carrying narcotics, was possibly traveling northbound on the Turnpike from Hialeah to Vero Beach. The dispatch to the trooper making the stop in Broward County followed communication from the Dade County Public Safety Department, which received the tip. Actually, the license plate was ZQZ-683. It need not be exactly correct in order to be reliable. See Romanoff v. State, 391 So. 2d 783 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980).

Aaron v. Allstate Ins. Co., 559 So. 2d 275 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990)…le there is such a thing as a cause of action against an insurance company for “refusal to defend”, there is no cause of action for “inadequate” defense. We reject this argument. Carrousel Concessions, Inc. v. Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, 483 So. 2d 513 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986) acknowledges that the language of an insurance contract can give rise to a duty not only to defend, but to adequately defend. Allstate also argues that the assignment was ineffective because Mickler failed to give consideration f…

MCO Env't, Inc. v. Agric. Excess & Surplus Ins. Co. & United Cap. Ins. Co., 689 So. 2d 1114 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997)…e action. Taylor v. Safeco Ins. Co., 361 So. 2d 743, 746 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978). If an insurer provides a defense, as AESIC alleges that it did here, then it must provide an adequate defense. Carrousel Concessions, Inc. v. Florida Ins. Guaranty Assoc., 483 So. 2d 513, 516 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986). The damages incurred by the insured in settling or litigating the case are not limited solely to attorney’s fees because the insurer becomes hable for all damages that flow naturally from the breach. Id. at 516. Consequently…
