Jury Finds in Favor of Policyholders in Insurance Coverage Dispute Citing Bad-Faith Conduct

Congratulations to Frank McRoberts, Jason Little, and the rest of the Farrell Fritz P.C. trial team on their complete victory on behalf of their insurance policy clients in a long-running, high-stakes insurance liability case.

This matter involved a series of underlying liability claims that questioned Starr’s coverage obligations and alleged bad-faith conduct under Starr’s commercial policies. Following a six-week trial in the New York Supreme Court, the jury found in favor of the plaintiffs only after one hour of deliberation and awarded significant extracontractual damages to Dorchester, LLC, in a rare victory that balanced on meeting the high threshold of proving insurer misconduct.

DOAR was proud to support the trial team with graphics consulting and design, as well as courtroom presentation.
