Friday, May 21, 1999 Valley Couple Win $12 Million in Suit Against Insurer;
Nancy and Jefferey Pomerantz filed suit in November 1995 after claiming that Mid-Century Insurance Co. wrongfully denied their $125,000 property damage claim. Mid-Century is part of the Farmers Insurance Group. After an eight-week trial, the jury found Wednesday in favor of the plaintiffs and
awarded them $260,000 in compensatory damages and $12 million in punitive damages. "The jurors sent a message to Farmers that the public will not stand an insurance company not honoring its policy," said plaintiffs' attorney Patricia Moore. "The Pomerantzes were subjected to a grueling, lengthy legal battle with a relentless insurance company. But $12 million is a powerful message." Lawyers for Farmers could not be reached for comment. |
