When Policy Limits Aren’t the End of the Story

Catastrophic trucking cases don’t always end with the jury’s verdict. In some situations, an insurer’s decision to reject a reasonable policy-limits demand can lead to additional litigation over bad-faith claims and excess judgments.

Kherkher Garcia Partner, Sadi R. Antonmattei Goitia, recently shared his perspective on a significant case working through the courts that every attorney handling serious commercial vehicle litigation should have on their radar.

When a Catastrophic Verdict Leads to Insurance Bad Faith Litigation

Sadi’s case study examines a high-profile trucking case in which an insurer allegedly declined multiple opportunities to settle within policy limits before a jury returned a verdict many times greater than the coverage limit. The resulting litigation provides important insight into insurer obligations, policy-limits demands, and the potential consequences of unreasonable settlement decisions.

Drawing on experience representing both the trucking industry and injury victims, the article explores why these issues matter to attorneys handling catastrophic commercial vehicle cases.
