Litigation

Allstate Insurance has filed another lawsuit in New York—this time in an attempt to get back $1 million from 10 psychological services facilities that alleged were never eligible to get insurance payments.

Owners of the New York Mets say they did not look into buying insurance coverage to protect their investments with Bernard L. Madoff, now convicted for running a Ponzi scheme.

A judge has barred Alliant and former employees with Aon from soliciting Aon clients as the Chicago-based insurance broker presses its non-compete claims.

The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a class-action lawsuit alleging sex discrimination against Wal-Mart, and lawyers say the ruling narrows the grounds on which class-action status can be sought, whatever the issue.

Insurance broker Aon has sued Alliant Insurance Services for poaching more than 40 employees from one of its construction units and stealing business and trade secrets.

In his opening keynote address at the ACE America’s Claims Event conference, attorney Stephen A. Cozen said the Supreme Court has become a valued partner of the insurance industry, working to reduce punitive damage awards and reject exposure lawsuits.
