Bernstein Liebhard, the plaintiffs firm that sued its insurer for more than $21 million in 2015 after a fire devastated its mass torts practice, is arguing that an adverse appellate court decision wasn’t as bad as it seemed. The New York firm claims the appellate ruling actually allows the firm to seek more than $13 million.
Bernstein Liebhard’s lawsuit argues Sentinel Insurance Co. was obligated to compensate it for the fees it would have earned on cases it could have brought on behalf of victims of the medication Risperdal, defective vaginal mesh and other medical torts.
