A Pennsylvania appeals court has turned down an attempt by Gallagher Bassett risk management firm to vacate a jury award for more than $2 million in favor of a Catholic Diocese in a case involving a school collapse.
An attorney in the case said the award could mushroom to over $4 million in legal fees and other costs.
The Pennsylvania Superior Court sitting in Pittsburgh ruled the Gallagher Bassett appeal was frivolous and ordered the case remanded to the lower court in Greensburg, Pa., to decide appropriate attorneys fees and costs.
