NOT FOR REPRINT
Page Printed from: propertycasualty360.com/author/profile/greg-land/
The $1.5 million settlement came six years after a car accident left the plaintiff with post-concussion syndrome and memory loss.
Judge says a 20-year-old Georgia Supreme Court precedent established the formula the insurer uses to evaluate diminished value claims.
A new lawsuit seeking billions of dollars in punitive damages claims AmFam and other parties illegally surveilled the plaintiff and her family.
Jim Beck was found guilty on 37 charges related to a five-year scheme that siphoned more than $2M from the Georgia Underwriting Association.
Geico is accused of failing to meet the requirements of a time-limited settlement demand.
Stuntman John Bernecker, 33, was killed in 2017 while shooting a scene for AMC's hit program "The Walking Dead."
Attorneys say the quick settlement from USAA indicates the insurer knew it would likely pay more had it gone to trial.
The decision to not to send officers to noninjury accidents could open the door for fraudulent auto and bodily injury claims.
The justices ruled that an intoxicated man who loaned his car to a drinking buddy could also be targeted for punitive damages as an 'active tortfeasor.'
The filing, which was supposed to have been sealed, was available on Pacer for nearly two weeks.
