Examples Of Our Successes in Court
Asten Johnson v. Columbia Casualty, et al. (2007)
Kaufman & Logan won a three week bench trial in federal District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for American Insurance Company, which resulted in a holding that an "asbestosis" exclusion barred all asbestos related bodily injury claims. The court also found American's excess policies contained no defense obligation and its 18 month policies had one annual aggregate limit. American's potential exposure was in excess of $50 million. In a pretrial ruling the court held that regulatory approval of exclusions was not required to make them enforceable. That ruling protected another $90 million of American limits plus defense costs in policies which had other asbestos exclusions.American Auto Ins. Co. v. CBL Insurance Services, Inc. (2007)
