The trial team of Chris Martin and Marty Sadler earned a defense verdict in a jury trial of a first party commercial insurance claim in Fort Bend County, Texas on April 22, 2009. After a seven day trial, the jury returned a 10-2 verdict, finding that the insured was not entitled to insurance benefits following an arson fire of the insured’s night club. The jury answered “Yes” to both the Dishonest or Criminal Acts exclusion question and the Fraud or Concealment exclusion question.
