Verdicts/Settlements (Case Results):
- Jury verdict in Federal Court (unanimous) for the maximum amount allowed by law, including civil monetary penalty. Plaintiff purchased vehicle, dashboard would occasionally go dark. Manufacturer was unable to repair in a timely manner. , 2019
- We represent the LA Police Revolver & Athletic Club (LAPRAAC) which was sued, in the underlying litigation, by multiple LAPD officers who claimed they had been sold "stolen" guns and then suffered employment penalties. In the insurance coverage case, where we represent LAPRAAC, an insurer was seeking to obtain a judgment on the basis that there was no coverage for the underlying litigation. Utilizing the principles of Haskell v. Superior Court we obtained an order staying the insurance coverage litigation until after the underlying cases are resolved. , 2024
- We represented the City of Anaheim in a suit against an insurer which denied coverage under a $10 million excess policy. The issue was whether proper notice had been given to the insurer regarding an underlying matter. The case was in Federal Court and we won our Motion for Summary Adjudication, indicating that the City had satisfied the notice provision of the contract. This resulted in a settlement for the entire $10 million plus 100% of our fees under the principles of Brandt v. Superior Court. , 2023
