Portfolio Recovery Lawsuit December

Recovering Damages After a Car Accident

There is another lawsuit that involves the negligent storage of a portfolio. In December of last year, a law firm in Utah lost a lawsuit against an insurance company over its failure to provide adequate insurance protection for a portfolio that contained many valuable works. The loss was extremely costly and the insurance carrier decided to fight the lawsuit to prevent a substantial loss. The insurer eventually agreed to pay the legal costs and an out of court settlement was reached in the fall of last year. This article explains the latest in a series of portfolio recovery lawsuits in the state of Utah.

On December 4th a judge ordered that the insurance carrier Logix had to pay the Utah Portfolio Recovery damages.

According to the order, Logix was negligent in storing the portfolio of a Utah doctor. A significant risk existed that the doctor’s valuable work would be lost if not preserved. The judge found that the insurance carrier failed to make reasonable judgments about the risk of protecting the portfolio recovery and awarded damages to the plaintiff. A special damages award was also awarded.

In this latest Utah lawsuit, there were many similar facts as in the prior accident.

A doctor’s portfolio recovery contained many work products that he had developed over the years. His insurance carrier Logix failed to assess the risk of preserving these items and did not include a risk assessment component with its valuation. As a result, the value of these items was significantly less than what they could have potentially restored and maintained. The lawsuit was filed by the attorney representing the plaintiff.

Dr. David E. Lindenmuth is the physician who was the chief medical officer at the Utah General Hospital. Dr. Lindenmuth developed a surgical delivery system and then designed a software program for managing the facility’s assets. He also served as a director of the hospital’s information technology department. Prior to his death, he was very active in his role as medical director of the hospital.

Dr. Lindenmuth was the chief executive officer of the company which owns and operates the Utah General Hospital.

On December 17th, he met with his wife and daughter and drank a mixed drink while traveling in their vehicle. He suffered a heart attack and died on the way from the scene. The vehicle was later examined at the Utah Highway and Traffic Safety office and showed no signs of alcohol. The litigation was filed by the attorney who represents the victim in this case, who discovered the vehicle accident had been caused by Dr. Lindenmuth.

Insurance carriers are required to review the appraisals that determine the loss value of a policyholder’s property.

This review involves an appraisal of the current replacement cost. When an appraisal determines that the policy is worth less today than it would have been at the time of the loss, the carrier must make reasonable determinations about whether it is better to cancel the policy or retain the policy. In this case, the insurance carrier did not make reasonable determinations that the policy was worth more than it would have been at the time of the loss. Therefore, it is likely that Dr. Lindenmuth’s death would result in a payout to the victim in a portfolio recovery lawsuit. The loss value of the policy was increased due to the increase in the replacement cost.

The insurance carrier’s calculation involved a great deal of work by its underwriters.

In many cases, they had to obtain information from outside sources, such as insurance investigators, to reach their conclusions regarding the loss value of the policy. While it can be difficult to determine how much money an insurance policy holder is entitled to receive following a catastrophic incident, it is fairly common for an insurance carrier to receive a settlement for this case. The settlement will be substantially higher than the amount that the decedent may have been awarded had he lived longer.

If you are involved in a similar situation as the deceased, you should contact a qualified attorney experienced in dealing with portfolio recovery cases. This type of settlement is not as common as other losses handled, but when it occurs it can be a lifesaver. When your life is threatened, it is important to speak with an attorney who specializes in these types of cases. The attorney can work with you to determine if the settlement you are eligible for meets both the financial needs of your family and the needs of the insurance carrier. With the right representation, you can receive the settlement you deserve in a timely manner.
