Areas of Focus
Experience
- Obtained an appellate court ruling that the uninsured/underinsured motorist benefits cannot be assigned, protecting the insurer from improper claims by third parties. The decision restricts hospitals from seeking payment unless specific conditions are met.
- Obtained an appellate court decision affirming formation of a binding and enforceable settlement, despite proposed writing that contained terms different than those agreed upon. CSAA Insurance Exchange v. Hodroj, 72 Cal. App. 5th 272 (2021)
- Obtained an appellate court decision affirming that the insurer did not breach the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in providing a replacement-cost estimate or with the delayed payment of a certain loss and that the insurer paid the full (if not maximum) amount of benefits due to the insured under the homeowner policy.
- Obtained an appellate court decision affirming that diminution in value and total loss valuation are controlled solely by terms of policy provisions.
