A federal appeals court has upheld separate jury verdicts that took differing views of whether the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorists' destruction of the World Trade Center involved single or multiple insurance claims.
The Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in New York affirmed jury verdicts reached in April and December of 2004 that declared the attacks were one and two events, respectively.
The case pitted several insurers against developer Larry Silverstein, who took over the lease for the World Trade Center site just several weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks.
