In addition to over 860 radio stations, iHeart Media has over 150 million registered users for its radio app. The interview series featuring this case is part of a planned series of top lawyers on civil litigation. Here is a transcripted segment from the interview:
The court system is slow sometimes. But with regard to this case, it was unusual because you had two trials, you had the first trial where we received the $9.5 million dollars judgment and then you had the second trial on the insurance coverage question, and we shouldn’t have ever had to have that second trial. Liberty Mutual should have done the right thing and come in and defended their insured and pay the amounts owed. The insurance companies have to know that you will take them to court and that you will be persistent and make them account for their responsibility to pay the amounts of their insurance zone.
