Selected For Chinese Drywall Insurance
Program Insurance
Disputes
continue to mount over who ultimately will pay the
cost of any damage or injury from the use of
Chinese drywall, according to Tom Hagy, CEO of HB
Litigation Conferences. Hagy pointed to
the January lawsuit filed in New Orleans by 700
homeowners against 14 insurance companies and last
month's suit in Florida by an affiliate of a major
global insurer for a declaration against coverage
of claims. "Insurance plays
a unique and vital role in the global economy.
When large losses occur insurance companies are
inevitable and critical players, just as they have
been in asbestos and environmental claims for
decades." said Hagy, who edited a report on
so-called long-tail insurance claims litigation in
the 1980s and 1990s. Hagy said his
team at HB Litigation Conferences has selected a
highly qualified chairman to lead their "Chinese
Drywall Litigation & Coverage Conference" at
the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New Orleans on May 18,
2010 – Jan Douglas Atlas of Adorno & Yoss
of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and an additional chair
will be announced shortly. Atlas is a
partner and member of Adorno & Yoss' commercial
litigation department and managing partner of the
firm's Ft. Lauderdale office, and is a member of
the Defense Steering Committee of the Chinese
Drywall Multi-District Litigation (MDL). Kanner is founder
and senior member at Kanner & Whiteley, and
brings to the conference a wealth of experience
litigating, among other things, environmental,
toxic tort and commercial litigation. Insurance
