CASE STUDY: Above & Beyond and Holding your Carrier Responsible!

Rodeo Chediski Fire

SafeCo Insurance Company of America denied coverage to some Mr. O’Toole’s clients regarding the Rodeo Chediski fire. Mr. O’Toole pursued their claims for smoke damage and prevailed under the policy of the insurance.

SafeCo took the initiative to file fraud referrals to the Arizona Department of Insurance, indicating no smoke damage, thus no coverage, thus fraud.

Mr. O’Toole and his clients filed suit against SafeCo for their wrongful actions, the insured’s settled with SafeCo with nondisclosure agreements.

However, Mr. O’Toole and his Company did not settle with SafeCo, which led to an approximate three-week jury trial.

(James F O’Toole v. SafeCo Insurance Co of America).

This resulted in a unanimous jury verdict. O’Toole as the plaintiff was awarded $900,000 for intentional interference with prospective contractual relationships.

James F O’Toole and James F O’Toole Company were awarded an additional $700,000 for punitive damages.
