Kevin Wolff and Julia Talarick Prevail In Motion For Summary Judgment

On November 19, 2024, Kevin Wolff and Julia Talarick prevailed on a motion summary judgment. The court dismissed the plaintiff-insurer’s claim for subrogation and equitable contribution that totaled more than $500,000. The court agreed with KLRW’s arguments that the plaintiff-insurer’s claim was barred by the entire controversy doctrine because the plaintiff-insurer’s named insured failed to pursue KLRW’s insurer-client in the underlying lawsuit where KLRW’s insurer-client was a party. Applying equitable principles, the court found that the plaintiff’s named insured’s failure to do so prejudiced KLRW’s insurer client.
