LM General Insurance Insurance Class Action

This was a proposed class action against LM General Insurance Company, apparently involving insurance-contract claims. The docket does not detail the specific allegations, but the case was filed as a class action under the Nature of Suit for Contract: Insurance. It appears the plaintiff later voluntarily dismissed the case without prejudice after the defendant moved to dismiss, so the allegations were never adjudicated and no settlement occurred.

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
