Singleton Schreiber was recently featured in The Columbus Dispatch in an article titled “California wildfire victims sue Nationwide over withheld insurance payments.” In the article, the firm is highlighted for representing a Southern California family who allege that Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company wrongfully withheld insurance benefits following the Eaton Fire. Partner Michelle Meyers is leading the case on behalf of Tony and Mayra Greer and their two young children, who claim their home was left uninhabitable after being contaminated by ash, lead dust, and other toxins from the fire.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that Nationwide refused to provide adequate insurance benefits for temporary housing, remediation, and personal property damage despite medical records, environmental testing, and even its own subcontractor confirming the contamination. According to the complaint, Nationwide offered insufficient payouts and continued to dispute the cause of the contamination, leaving the Greer family with mounting expenses and unsafe living conditions. The case seeks compensation for damages, insurance bad faith, and emotional distress.
