In a victory for a credit counseling company, Schwartz, Conroy & Hack defeated a motion by a liability insurer seeking to dismiss a declaratory judgment action. The declaratory judgment case, brought in federal court in New Jersey, requests a declaration of coverage for defense costs and indemnification regarding a class action lawsuit commenced against our client. Community Credit Counseling is a not-for-profit company that provides counseling services to individuals needing advice and assistance on various matters. After being sued in a class action, Community tendered the lawsuit to its insurer under a Not-For-Profit Individual and Organization Insurance Policy. The insurer, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, denied the claim. Community hired our firm and we sued National Union. A motion to dismiss was filed, and we fought back hard, filing legal briefs demonstrating our client’s entitlement to insurance coverage. The federal court agreed, refusing to dismiss the case, handing Community an important victory in its insurance coverage battle. Our team on this matter was staffed by Evan Schwartz and Harold Levy.
