Following a seven-day trial, an Alabama jury ruled that Protective Life Insurance wrongly refused to pay $10 million in benefits to national amusement park company Apex Parks Group.

Alexander “Al” Weber Jr., 64, the founder and CEO of California-based Apex, died unexpectedly in November 2016 while vacationing in the British Virgin Islands. Eight months earlier, the company—which owns 17 amusement parks around the country—had purchased the “key person” coverage from Birmingham-based Protective.
