Policyholder claimed $233,488. Then
Jury awarded $553,615. Then
4th Circuit awarded $ 461,346. Then
Supreme Court awards $247,001. All numbers exceeded the original demand. Were the attorney fees based on the usual plaintiff bar’s contingency agreement?
IF the judge reversed the ruling how did they still end up with over $200K in damages if the initial wind damage was on $2,700? I wish the article would be more informative.
In view of the rather summary overturning of the trial court and appeals court decisions, it’s pretty clear that the two lower levels of the judiciary are populated by incompetents. The Supreme Court cites with approval the federal Fifth Circuit, which presented a detailed and scholarly discussion of the entire flood issue. Astonishing that even a state appellate level judge wouldn’t look at that and maybe think twice about the decision.
Now, perhaps, everyone can quit waiting around to gamble in the courtroom, or quit listening to attorneys enticing them with claims about big verdicts, and just get to work. Think of what could have been done in the last two years if all the time, attention, energy and MONEY spent in the courtrooms would have been spent instead on recovery or rebuilding efforts.
Also, couple this with the absolute lawless behavior and corruption of the lawyers in Mississippi (starting with Mr. Scruggs), and the same question applies – how much further ahead and better off would we all be if these efforts would have gone into something constructive, instead of efforts to extort money from the insurance industry.
