Attorney Erin Moore Obtains Defense Verdict for Client

Congratulations to our President Erin Moore for obtaining a defense verdict in an admitted liability auto accident case tried to a jury in the Warren County Court of Common Pleas. Plaintiff claimed a resulting rotator cuff injury, but Erin successfully showed the jury the claimed injury was preexisting and unrelated to the accident. The jury found no proximate cause for the injuries claimed and returned a verdict for her client.

The result came not only from the facts of the case and Erin’s skills in the courtroom, but from the hard work and extensive time she put in to prepare for trial to pursue the client’s goals.  Erin, this is a well-deserved victory!

Erin Moore, Shareholder, Prevails on Coverage Case in the Ohio Supreme Court

Erin Moore, a shareholder of Green & Green, Lawyers, prevailed for her client, the appellant, Owners Insurance Company, in EMOI Services, LLC v. Owners Insurance Company, Slip Opinion No. 2022-Ohio-4649, decided by the Ohio Supreme Court on December 27, 2022.

In EMOI Services, LLC v. Owners Insurance Company, the unanimous Court agreed that the business property insurance policy at issue, which by its terms required “direct physical loss of or damage to” property, did not provide coverage for losses claimed due to a ransomware attack on appellee’s computer systems where there was no “direct physical loss of or damage to” the hardware or media on which the software was stored. In reaching this conclusion, the Court found that under the policy terms, “covered media” means media that had a physical existence and that software itself, independent of that media, as information or a set of instructions, does not have a physical existence.

The Court expressly held that the language in the electronic equipment endorsement in the policy was “clear and unambiguous” in its requirement that there be physical loss or physical damage and that since software is an inherently an intangible item that cannot experience direct physical loss or direct physical damage, there was no applicable coverage.
