CAROL ANN BELLAMY,

    Petitioner,

    v.

STATE FARM FLORIDA
INSURANCE COMPANY,

    Respondent.
                  _____________________________


Petition for Writ of Certiorari—Original Jurisdiction.
David W. Fina, Judge.

B.L. THOMAS, J.

     Bellamy’s petition for writ of certiorari must be dismissed
because it fails to demonstrate that the trial court departed from
the essential requirements of law, resulting in material injury that
cannot be corrected on appeal. See Reeves v. Fleetwood Homes of
Fla., Inc., 

, 822 (Fla. 2004). Under Florida law, once
an insured’s first-party action for insurance benefits is resolved in
the insured’s favor, a cause of action for bad faith can accrue.
Blanchard v. State Farm Mut. Ins. Co., 

, 1291 (Fla.
1991); see also Vanguard Fire and Cas. Co. v. Golmon, 

, 594 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006).
     No irreparable harm occurred as a result of the trial court’s
subsequent order barring Bellamy’s bad faith claims as premature.
Bellamy is permitted to bring forth her bad faith claims once she
establishes that she is entitled to recovery of her insurance
benefits. As a result, the injury brought forth in Bellamy’s petition
can be corrected on appeal and we dismiss Bellamy’s petition for
writ of certiorari for lack of jurisdiction.

    DISMISSED.

WINOKUR and JAY, JJ., concur.
