Hugh
E.
Reynolds, Jr.
Counsel
Experience
- Has been involved in several disputes on the claims against carriers for contamination.
- Obtained a unanimous, favorable decision from the Supreme Court of the State of Indiana in the case of State Farm v. T.B. in which the judgment against the insurance carrier was reversed. The issue was whether or not the insured and the claimant could formulate a stipulation agreement entered as a judgment and the insurer would be bound by all statements of fact in the agreement if it had not either appeared and defended or sought declaratory judgment. The Supreme Court disapproved of that and limited the binding nature of any such judgment to those facts that were essential to support the underlying tort judgment.
- Has been involved in a number of product liability cases; the most current of which involves serious injuries to two individuals when a boom crane on which they were working collapsed. Represents a component part supplier to the crane.
- Has been involved in a number of cases involving claims against sureties on bonds and construction projects; the most recent of which involves a bond given for a construction project in Phoenix, AZ in which the contractor bonded by Reynolds’ client was unable to finish.
- Has been involved in a number of arbitrations. For example, acted as the panel chair of a panel of 3 arbitrators deciding construction disputes in connection with the construction of the Harrah’s Casino in New Orleans, LA.
