Global law firm K&L Gates LLP represented
Carlex Glass America LLC in securing a $14.4 million jury award
after finding that Sompo America Insurance Co. breached its
commercial property insurance policy. The case involved tornado
damage to Carlex's glass production facility in Nashville,
Tennessee.
Following an 11-day trial, the jury concluded that Sompo failed
to cover damage to Carlex's float-line equipment, though no
breach was found for business interruption losses.
Greeves said: "We are pleased the jury recognized that
Sompo did not fulfill its contractual obligations. Long overdue
monies for the tornado-related float-line damage will now be paid
to Carlex, along with years of prejudgment interest."
