The remand to state court is a procedural win for MasTec, but the underlying insurance coverage dispute remains unresolved. Monitor state court docket for developments on the breach-of-contract and declaratory-judgment claims, which could involve material financial exposure if coverage is ultimately denied.

Executive Summary
The District Court for the Southern District of Florida granted MasTec's motion to remand its insurance coverage dispute against QBE Specialty Insurance Co. and other insurers back to state court, finding that defendants failed to obtain unanimous and timely consent for removal to federal court. This procedural ruling does not resolve the underlying breach-of-contract and declaratory-judgment claims concerning representations and warranties insurance from MasTec's 2021 acquisition of Henkels & McCoy, but it returns the case to MasTec's preferred forum.
