TALLAHASSEE — One of Florida’s largest homeowners insurance companies will pay back $30 million to the state to satisfy allegations it illegally backdated Hurricane Irma claims.

We are pleased the review has come to a close and the state dismissed the case,” Universal CEO Stephen Donaghy said in a statement.

Whistleblower allegations sparked an investigation into a Fort Lauderdale insurer, which resulted in the attorney general's first multimillion-dollar repayment from an insurance company.
