San Diego Jury Finds Protective Life in Material Breach of Contract
Michelle Meyers, Partner, and Jack Winters, Of Counsel, of Singleton Schreiber secured a unanimous jury verdict in Blakely McHugh v. Protective Life Insurance Company, an insurance recovery and bad faith matter. After more than a decade of litigation, including multiple appeals and a prior trial, a San Diego jury found that Protective Life Insurance Company violated California’s life insurance lapse statutes and materially breached its contract obligations.
The jury awarded the policyholder full policy benefits and litigation costs, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to holding insurers accountable and protecting policyholder rights.
