Abstract

A Somerset County Superior Court jury yesterday awarded Carroll Colford, 52, of Fairfield, $24 million in punitive damages in his lawsuit against Chubb Life Insurance Co. of America. The award, described as one of the largest in Maine history, came after the jury awarded Colford $1.5 million in compensatory damages. Colford's suit against Chubb alleged that the insurer denied him benefits on a disability insurance policy he bought in 1991, eight days before he was injured in a fall. Details.
