    \”After a six-day trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Liberty Mutual, finding that it had proven by clear and convincing evidence that all three defendants \”knowingly misrepresented, concealed, or failed to disclose any material fact concerning the property loss.\”

    That legal standard should be helpful in proving certain insurers, like Allstate, State Farm, Farmers, USAA, Safeco and others (in Texas, Florida and Maryland) are taking unfair advantage of their hurricane Isabel, Ivan, Rita and etc. affected claimant clients.

    You can fool some of the people some of the time…

    Das,

    You are clearly practicing maligned \”adjuster speak\” here, and elsewhere.

    Roger:

    People on an insurance website do not want to read your crap. Now go back to Texas and under the rock you crawled out from. And for heavens sake, give the poor lady her car back. Just because you can steal something does not make it yours.

    This was a travisty of justice to the defendants and all who represent insureds there was nothing in the trial to suggest insurance fraud. The Liberty Mutual Comp. fabricated a case using an edited video totaly irelevent to the claim and won, after the plaintiff rested the judge said go out and settle, fraud is off the table.,LM refused and said I will take my chances with the video and jury and won. we are in the SC on appeal again.

    what was won in this case for the insurer is much more then lowering the burden of proof. This case is about a carrier that did not pay out insurance benifits and recived a 175 thousand dollar judgment under the IFPA, when in fact the record is clear there was no missrepresentation now thats fraud.
