General Liability April 11, 2019 Defense jury verdict in a case involving an accident on a haunted hayride and a claim of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. We represented a volunteer fire company that hosts an annual haunted hayride event on its property to raise money. The plaintiff, then a 12-year-old, went to the hayride event as an invitee and was convinced by some teens to help scare people on the wagons at one of the skits in the woods. Without the knowledge of the fire company, the plaintiff joined the teens, got into costume, and began scaring people in wagons as they passed by their skit. Summary Judgment for Large Insurance Carrier in a Breach of Contract Case. Insurance Services – Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation December 31, 2018 The parties had filed cross-motions for summary judgment. The issue for the court was whether the carrier had breached the terms of the policy when it denied the plaintiff’s first-party benefits claim relating to medical bills for PTSD allegedly caused by the underlying accident. Summary Judgment in Class Action Lawsuit On Behalf of Large Insurer. Class Action Litigation August 24, 2018 We obtained summary judgment in a putative class action lawsuit in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of a large insurer. The case dealt with a letter the insurance carrier would send to their insureds following a motor vehicle accident in which they advised their insureds that they would have a rental vehicle for five days. The named plaintiffs argued the letter misrepresented the policy language and they sued for breach of contract, bad faith, declaratory judgment and equitable relief. Defense Prevails in Automobile Liability Case. Insurance Services – Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation May 11, 2018 We secured the dismissal of a declaratory judgment action filed in federal court against a large insurer. This case arose from a motor vehicle accident that occurred in 2015. The plaintiff averred that she had sustained injuries in excess of the tortfeasor’s bodily injury liability limits and sought stacked underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits. While the plaintiff had admittedly signed a rejection of UIM coverage form and a rejection of UIM coverage stacked limits form, she argued that her insurer had altered the statutorily required forms by adding additional language. Defense Verdict in Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith Case Insurance Services – Coverage and Bad Faith Litigation December 1, 2017 Obtained a defense verdict after a six-day bench trial in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. The plaintiff claimed that our insurance carrier client acted in bad faith in the handling of his underinsured motorist claim that arose from a 2009 motor vehicle accident. The plaintiff alleged that our client presented low-ball settlement offers over an 18-month period and disregarded medical evidence establishing that his injury was causally related to the accident. The plaintiff also claimed that the insurance carrier attempted to conceal an unfavorable IME report.Load More Thought Leadership MARSHALL DENNEHEY LAUNCHES FOUR NEW HEALTH CARE PRACTICE GROUPS IN RESPONSE TO EVOLVING INDUSTRY TRENDS Health Care Liability Behavioral Health Risk and Liability Electronic Medical Record and Audit Trail Litigation Emergency Medical Services Telehealth and Telemedicine March 9, 2020 In an effort to keep pace with client needs in the evolving health care environment, Marshall Dennehey has launched four new practice groups: Behavioral Health Risk and Liability; Electronic Medical Record and Audit Trail Litigation; Emergency Medical Services; and Telehealth and Telemedicine.
