Litchfield Cavo LLP

Description

The Illinois Appellate Court affirmed the trial court's dismissal of a complaint brought against a workers' compensation third-party administrator alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress and bodily injuries stemming from a claim handler's decision to discontinue payment for at-home nurse care. The appellate court affirmed that the civil suit was barred by the exclusive remedies available in the workers' compensation system. This was an important win for the industry.

Our attorneys have written and argued hundreds of matters on appeal before state and federal appellate panels throughout the country. We provide insurers and business clients with the highest caliber of representation in all phases of litigation. Often this includes motions for post-trial relief, motions to vacate, motions for reconsideration, appeals, oral arguments and writs.

Following an accident, product or environmental claim, we provide the resources and counsel required to wage thorough, efficient investigations.

The Massachusetts Appeals Court affirmed the dismissal of a complaint by a commercial tenant against our client, a real estate investment firm and hospitality management company, for personal injuries and damages arising from the plaintiff's purported exposure to mold. The appeals court affirmed that the underlying basis for the plaintiff's expert opinions did not meet reliability requirements.
