SAMPLES OF CURRENT OR PAST SUCCESSFUL REPRESENTATION:- Uninsured Motorist Breach of Contract /Bad Faith Action Against Insurer
Blady Workforce Law Group successfully represented an insured against a major auto insurance company in California who denied his uninsured motorist bodily injury claim. After the insurance company sued its insured for declaratory relief claiming there was no coverage, BW Law Group filed suit against the insurance company for breach of contract and bad faith. Blady Workforce Law Group successfully and efficiently prosecuted that action, leading to an amicable settlement. - Coverage Action for a Business Against Insurers
Blady Workforce Law Group successfully represented a Los Angeles based business in a coverage dispute with its commercial general liability insurer and property insurer. The claim against the business involved the alleged improper disposal of a client's furniture. After initially agreeing to defend the client, the commercial general liability insurer filed an action for declaratory relief, claiming there was no coverage under its policy for the claim. The property insurer outright denied the claim for the disposed property. BW Law Group defended the business in the declaratory relief suit and sought coverage from the property damage insurer, leading to a global resolution of the claims against the business, with both the liability insurer and property insurer paying to resolve the claim and the business receiving money for its losses. - Summary Judgment in Favor of Client on Coverage Dispute
Blady Workforce Law Group obtained summary judgment for an insurer in a coverage action regarding a claim for damaged property. The insured was a truck driver hauling cheese from California to Texas. The shipment of cheese was rejected by the recipient for being out of temperature. The insured claimed the loss was due to a mechanical failure or breakdown of his temperature controlled trailer. However, the insurance policy provided limited coverage for such a loss. BW Law Group successfully moved for summary judgment for the insurance company, proving to the Court that that there was no coverage because there was no evidence of a mechanical failure or breakdown of the insured's temperature controlled trailer, which was required for coverage to exist.
