Representative Insurance Law Cases
- Obtained a $1,000,000.00 settlement for our client a major airport operator, by creatively advocating in Federal Court for business interruption coverage under a commercial property insurance policy despite the absence of any damage to our client’s insured property. The judge agreed with our argument that the policy’s coverage trigger was overbroad and should be construed against the insurer because it drafted the policy.
