Our firm represented a medical professional client after he sustained adverse publicity. We recovered a $7 million verdict resulting from a trial in Genesee County, Flint Michigan. The doctor was forced to work with a lawyer hired by the insurance company with whom he disagreed. The terms of his insurance policy obligated the insurance company to avoid any settlement of the case without the doctor’s express and written permission. The adjuster and the assigned lawyer settled the case anyway, which then showed up in local newspapers. The jury agreed that harm to the doctor’s reputation resulted from a breach of the insurance contract.
