Insurance Services – Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation March 1, 2020 A Philadelphia County jury returned a defense verdict on the UIM claim, causing the plaintiff to withdraw her bad faith and UTPCPL claims, in a case where she had alleged permanent injury and facial scarring as a result of a pedestrian/motor vehicle accident. The jury found the plaintiff 20% comparatively negligent, awarded her ˜0′ damages for emotional distress and scarring/disfigurement, $10,000 for pain and suffering, and $5,000 for loss of life’s pleasures. Coverage Not Triggered in CGL Policy Insurance Services – Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation December 6, 2016 We obtained summary judgment in a declaratory judgment action filed on behalf of an insurer in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. At issue was whether coverage (and an ensuing duty to defend) had been triggered under a CGL policy in connection with an underlying breach of contract action. The insured was a subcontractor who had performed work on a boiler, which had been installed as part of a larger construction project at a municipal authority’s wastewater treatment facility. Defense Prevails in Insurance Coverage Case Insurance Services – Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation April 21, 2016 The defense prevailed in their representation of a major insurance carrier in an insurance coverage case involving claims by an insured business owner for coverage under a commercial general liability policy. The insured was transporting chairs and tables for his business on his truck; as he rounded a curve, some chairs fell onto the path of an oncoming motorcyclist, who reportedly sustained serious injury. Judge Denies Class Certification in Junk Fax Case Under TCPA Insurance Services – Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation September 21, 2015 Marshall Dennehey attorneys prevailed in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas on a Motion for Class Action Certification in a junk fax case under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Following a class certification hearing in March, the judge issued an order and opinion denying the plaintiff’s motion. The proposed nationwide class would have been comprised of over 15,000 claimants in a case where, had the class been certified and a decision on the merits been entered for the claimants, the statutory damages alone would have been a minimum of $500 Thought Leadership Christopher E.
