When the Lights Went Out
When the Lights Went Out
Our client, a large demolition contractor, was hired to demolish a smokestack at a coal-fired power plant. Unfortunately, the smokestack fell the wrong way, destroying a building and cutting off power for a large municipality. But its insurance companies denied the claim for the substantial damages arising from the accident. In a world in which accidents happen even to the best in business, and our client found itself abandoned by its insurers, we were there to fight for our client, and it was able to pay for the damage out of its insurers’ checkbooks. First, we negotiated a resolution of the claim with the power company. Then, we aggressively fought our client’s insurers in litigation, forcing them to pay the claim. Through litigation, we were able to recover from the insurers 100% of the money required to settle the dispute with the power company, and our client also recovered the fees it paid us to force the insurers to pay the claim.
When the Servers Crashed
When the Servers Crashed
Our client, a large construction company, was nearing the completion of a hospital that it was building in Canada when disaster struck. The server on which it stored all of the documents required to complete the project was wiped out, requiring it to incur millions of dollars in extra expenses. We fought aggressively; so aggressively that the insurer’s initial counsel withdrew on the eve of the arbitration. And our client recovered its losses on the project caused by the server failure, and it also recovered most of the legal fees it incurred to enforce its rights.
BIPA Class Actions
BIPA Class Actions
When a large automotive parts manufacturer found itself the target of a class-action lawsuit seeking many millions of dollars for allegedly violating the Illinois Biometric Information Protection Act (BIPA), its insurers denied its claims. Every scan is a separate occurrence, and our client found itself facing claims for each time scan for each of its thousands of employees over a five-year period. But we secured insurance coverage through litigation, pushing the envelope in this emerging area of insurance coverage litigation, and won our client protection against existential exposure.
