Computer Exporter’s Hijacking Claim – denied

Our client, a computer exporter, specializes in shipping computers and computer equipment to South America for distribution. Unfortunately, one of these shipments – a container with nearly $1,000,000.00 in computer equipment — was hijacked by armed bandits while on the highway in a foreign country.

Luckily, our client purchased insurance coverage for this shipment or so they thought. After investigation, the insurance company denied coverage completely.

Thereafter, our client filed suit against the insurance company. Less than one year later, the Weber Law Firm filed a Motion for Summary Judgment against the insurance company. Just before the Court entered judgment in favor of our client, the insurance company paid a confidential sum of money to compensate our client for the theft and for the lawyer’s fees and costs expended.
