Following are pertinent facts outlining the settlement of this claim. Loss (alleged incidents) occurred over a period of several years. Due to this fact, there are 3 insurers involved. It was determined that a protracted lawsuit would NOT be a prudent approach to this situation and in order to keep the loss as low as possible, a settlement was deemed the most appropriate course of action. The court had REJECTED a Summary Dismissal Motion on the question of negligent retention of the Officer involved. The concern was the potential for the `sympathy factor' to overcome the facts in the jury's deliberation, especially since a child was involved. The officer did have some troubling history; including an incident of public drunkenness wherein he was armed with his service firearm. This added a factor of risk on top of the potential for very high expenses if this matter made it to trial. There was a $300k statutory cap on this matter and the fact of that cap was probably the major factor in containing the expectations of plaintiff's counsel. The other helpful factor was the reticence of the plaintiff and her family to have her face the public exposure of testifying in open court. Had not those factors tempered plaintiff's expectations, this matter would have been harder to resolve and might well not have settled. To that end, they obtained agreement for a $75,000 settlement. The alleged incidents of sexual contact occurred over a period of several years. Based on the details an agreement was reached in regards to sharing of the indemnity and expenses with the three carriers as follows: Risk M: nts 1 Hartford: 25% (Kyle Smigala) ACE /INA HAS: 37.5% (Laurie Boyce) Travelers: 37.5% (John McGinnis) Thus the indemnity settlement of $75k following the above percentages was in excess of the $25,000 policy deductible. Steve, let me know if you need any additional information in regards to this claim. I trust this will provide documentation that the City needs for the Deductible Reimbursement. Sincerely, �L Lori L.
