I disagree with the verdict, but don't think this should have been defended. In my opinion, the carrier didn't think this one through. Surely the defense expense was anticipaed. Defend and appeal this loss worth $18,000. $41,000 in expenses defending a case that has to do with a loss that is unlikely to ever happen to them again! I understand some cases must be defended when there is the potential for setting a precedent. But, come on. Somebody let me know if Cinncinati ever incurs another airplane or falling "vehicle" to one of their insured autos. How did their corporate attorney get approval for this meaningless defense? This is a dollars in, dollars out business and they wasted 40 grand.
