OUTCOME: 1.1 Million Dollar Verdict on a Property Damage Liability Policy Only

An offer was made to settle the entire claim, including bodily injury, for the at fau ... lt party's property damage liability limit of $10,000. When his insurance carrier refused to pay, the at fault party was sued. A jury returned a verdict against the at fault driver for 1.1 million.
