- Successfully established insurance coverage on summary judgment under advertising loss clause where in the underlying case the plaintiff sought various types of relief for competitive torts in Florida courts.
- Obtained a complete recovery for foreign client from insurer that had disavowed
- Successfully settled a matter for a hotel client with respect to uninsured losses from a fire in a restaurant tenant's premises. When we entered the case, it had been pending for 1 year, without our client's knowledge, as a subrogation case originally brought by another tenant whose premises suffered damages caused by the firefighting efforts. Our client's insurance company had also brought a claim against the restaurant owner to recover the amount it paid our client under the insurance policy. We immediately filed a complaint in intervention to seek uninsured losses against the restaurant tenant and various other parties. The mediation was continued to provide time for our client to conduct its investigation and we were able to establish that our client had sustained recoverable losses substantially greater than the client was initially aware of, particularly in the areas of business income loss and code upgrades. Within six months, the case settled at the continued mediation session with a high 6 figure amount paid to our client. Since the total amount of insurance coverage was less than the claims, our client's recovery effectively came out of the amount that its insurer would have otherwise obtained in the subrogation action since the insured has the right to the first dollars (vis a via it's carrier) from the settlement funds.
