Case Details
In 2009, Bob was trial counsel for plaintiffs, the Auto Body Association of Connecticut and several Connecticut independent auto body shops, against a leading auto insurer. Following a rare two-month long jury trial of a class action, the jury returned a verdict awarding plaintiffs compensatory damages of $14.85 million. The jury found that the insurer had violated Connecticut’s Unfair Trade Practices Act by illegally suppressing the labor rates paid to the auto body shops in the State of Connecticut.
Additional Notes
The judge in the case is presently considering plaintiffs’ request for punitive damages and injunctive relief.
