Devore v. Massachusetts Casualty

In this case, Mr. Horwitz acted as second chair for defense counsel against a dentist who claimed that he could no longer practice dentistry because he suffered from chronic daily migraine headaches. The disability carrier refused to pay insurance proceeds on the ground the dentist had made misrepresentations in his application and because it challenged the extent of the dentist’s disability. Recognizing the potential exposure, the disability carrier settled for $1.5 million during jury deliberations.
