Defense Verdict in High Stakes Insurance Coverage & Bad Faith Case

Insurance Services
May 11, 2017

Obtained a defense verdict in the U.S.D.C. for the Southern District of New York. Our insurance company client adjusted a burglary loss of roughly $1.3 million and wired the proceeds directly to the insured rather than to the bank named as a loss payee on the policy. The bank had a security interest in the stolen inventory and was owed more than $2 million by the insured. Upon receipt of the proceeds, the principal of the insured abandoned his business (and his wife, who was a co-guarantor of the insured’s indebtedness to the bank) took the money and fled the country.
