Edgar Elliott, John Johnson, and Steven Nichols obtained Summary Judgment for an insurance company facing a breach of contract and bad faith suit alleging in excess of $6 Million. Cat 5 v. National Casualty Co., CV09-00633-CG-B (S.D. Ala., Oct. 5, 2011). Cat 5 entered into a consent judgment for $6 million in an underlying State Court action, then sued National Casualty claiming the insurer committed bad faith by failing to provide a defense and indemnity to Cat 5 in the State Court case. Cat 5 claimed as damages the $6 million consent judgment, over $100,000 in attorney’s fees, and punitive damages. Arguing both Georgia contract law and Alabama bad faith law, Edgar Elliott, John Johnson, and Steven Nichols successfully obtained summary judgment for National Casualty as to all claims.
