Overview

Defended insurance company client in a suit for bad faith refusal to settle a lawsuit (commercial contract litigation) that had resulted in an excess judgment against its policyholder in the amount of approximately $2.0 million. Our trial counsel successfully secured a verdict in favor of the client and against the injured party who had been brain damaged when the insurance policy holder was struck in the head with a beer bottle thrown by the policy holder. Our team convinced the jury that there was no responsibility to settle the claim within the applicable limits of the insurance contract because there was a fairly debatable coverage question that related to whether there was any insurance coverage afforded to the policyholder who threw the bottle.
