Nationwide Ins. Co. Wins Federal Court Dec. Action-Bad Faith Trial
On Thursday a Jackson Division federal court jury returned a verdict for Nationwide Insurance Co. in a dispute with an insured. Here is the verdict in Nationwide v. Doolittle.
Here is Nationwide's Dec. Action Complaint. Nationwide alleged that the Doolittles made material misrepresentations in their fire-loss claim regarding the contents of their home.
Here is the Doolittle's Answer and Counterclaim, in which the Doolittles alleged bad faith.
Judge Dan Jordan presided in the case. Jason Bush, La'Verne Edney and Wes Mockbee with Baker Donelson represented Nationwide. Lance Stevens and Rod Ward of Jackson represented the Doolittles.
On a somewhat humorous note, the Doolittles were reportedly observed giving the Baker Donelson lawyers the bird in the parking lot after the trial.
