Over $500 Million in Results for our Clients

$10 Million – Recovery for severe personal injuries sustained in a gas explosion.

$8.6 Million – Tennessee apartment building sustained extensive water damage after freeze loss. Jason J. Liss turned an outright coverage denial into an $8.6 million settlement for a Memphis apartment complex that sustained freeze-related water damage. The insurer had invoked the policy’s vacancy exclusion, but Liss methodically gathered maintenance records, weather data, and expert reports, then paired them with a tight legal analysis that dismantled the exclusion defense. Faced with that evidence, the carrier reversed its position and paid almost the full loss—placing the matter among Michigan Lawyers Weekly’s Top Settlements of 2023.

$8.5 Million – Automotive Supplier Property Insurance Dispute. Jason J. Liss forced the insurer to honor a business-income claim after two massive industrial presses failed at the automotive supplier’s plant. When the insurer paid only $300,000 and later refused statutory appraisal—insisting our client had no loss—we sued, won summary judgment compelling appraisal, and secured an award of $5.46 million. The court then entered judgment for $5.16 million plus penalty interest of $1,695.89 per day, pushing the total past $8.5 million.

$5.1 Million – Michigan luxury mansion suffered extensive wind and water damage. Jason J. Liss represented the insured, who owned a 20,000-square-foot mansion in Clarkston and suffered extensive wind and water damage. The insurer, Farm Bureau, initially paid only $414,776 and then filed a declaratory-relief action claiming it owed nothing more, citing exclusions for fraud, faulty workmanship, neglect, freezing, and failure to comply with post-loss duties. After extensive litigation, Jason prevailed on behalf of our client.

The insurer had agreed to the fire appraisal award but stonewalled two water-damage claims; Liss sued, won summary judgment compelling payment, secured consequential business-income damages and 12 % penalty interest, and then pressed the case on appeal until the carrier capitulated with a seven-figure settlement.
