Meridian Security Insurance Co. was responsible for paying $35,000 in prejudgment interest, starting from the date of each attorney invoice, a court ruled.
A Virginia court concluded an airline employee's injury occurred on United's premises, as the incident happened in sufficient proximity to the terminal.
After a lawyer supplied his employer with his CBD oil prescription and receipts, the firm refused to reimburse him on the basis that the oil isn't a pharmaceutical drug.
An insurance company isn't required to cover a man who was severely injured after he was struck by a vehicle in the process of helping an unconscious motorist.
