On November 3, 2009, the Firm successfully negotiated a favorable settlement on behalf of our client, Century Plumbing and Heating Co., which had sued its general liability carrier, Colorado Casualty Co., after Colorado Casualty failed to provide a defense in an arbitration proceeding where Century was accused of breach of contract and construction and design negligence. Century settled the underlying arbitration and brought suit against Colorado Casualty alleging bad faith insurance practices. The bad faith suit was settled at mediation, within seven months of its filing. This is the second insurance bad faith lawsuit involving construction related claims settled by the Firm this year. In January, 2009, we negotiated a settlement of an insurance bad faith case against Century Mutual Insurance Company for $295,000 after Century Mutual’s insured, DNV Construction, was found liable in an arbitration for causing approximately $90,000 in damages related to a construction project.
