A number of carriers have called on Connell Foley of Roseland when insurance litigation matters arise, including New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Co. One Superstorm Sandy case led to a ruling that it’s the policyholder’s burden to prove property damage resulted “from wind alone.” The group prevailed in federal court coverage litigation over Sandy saltwater damage, too. Last year also saw Connell Foley wrap up bad faith litigation seeking to upend $7.5 million in settlement payments stemming from a Jersey City fire, when the Supreme Court declined to take up rulings by courts below that relied on the “first to settle” rule.
