Representative Cases & TransactionsCasesRep Matters: Defense Verdict Obtained in Property Damage Lawsuit filed by Electric Company
Lew Lerman recently obtained a defense verdict in a case tried to the jury in New Britain. CL&P brought a property damage lawsuit to recover $21,052.55 in damages resulting from a motor vehicle accident in Newtown where the defendant veered off the road due to icy weather conditions
struck the plaintiff's telephone pole
accompanying equipment. The defendant was insured up to $10,000 in property damages
had $6,316.51 left on the policy after making two payments to other property owners. The plaintiff would not accept the remaining amount left on the policy. The defendant filed an Offer of Compromise for $6,316.51. Plaintiff's last dem
before trial was $12,500. If the plaintiff prevailed, the defendant would have been personally liable for $14,736.04.
The defense argued that the defendant was not negligent
that the adverse road
weather conditions caused the accident. The jury agreed
rendered a defense verdict.
