Attorney Michael McCormack obtained a judgment in favor of O’Sullivan McCormack Jensen & Bliss’s client denying an insurance company’s claims for damages for alleged bailment and negligence arising from a fire at the client’s facility. The insurance company was contractually required to pay property damage to its insured after the insured’s property stored at the client’s facility was damaged in the fire. After paying the insured’s claim, the insurance company filed litigation against our client to recover the insurance proceeds it was required to pay, claiming that the fire was caused by the negligence of O’Sullivan McCormack Jensen & Bliss’s client and that the client owed a heightened duty to the insured as an alleged bailee of the insured’s property. After a trial on the merits, the court denied the insurance company’s claims in their entirety and entered judgment in favor of the firm’s client.
