Judge Denies Lloyd’s of London Motion to Dismiss Lawsuit

News Source: Big Island Now

The lawsuit against Lloyd’s of London filed by Susie Osborne, founder of Kua o Ka Lā New Century Charter School, alleges that Lloyd’s failed to honor her insurance claim in good faith after her home was destroyed in the Kīlauea eruption. Despite paying over $2,400 annually for homeowner’s coverage with Lloyd’s, her claim was denied by an unlicensed claims adjuster from Arkansas who never inspected her property. This denial prompted Osborne to file a lawsuit against Lloyd’s, along with other affiliated agents, brokers, and adjusters.

Jeffrey Foster, the attorney representing Osborne and other Puna homeowners in similar lawsuits against Lloyd’s, described Osborne as a remarkable person dedicated to education and community betterment. He expressed his commitment to presenting Osborne’s case to a jury at trial.

Osborne’s lawsuit is part of a broader legal battle against Lloyd’s, with homeowners alleging delays, denials, and dismissiveness in processing claims for homes damaged by the eruption. Foster Law Offices, led by Jeffrey Foster, is spearheading this litigation against Lloyd’s and its affiliates. Foster highlighted the importance of holding Lloyd’s accountable for their actions and ensuring that homeowners receive fair treatment and compensation.

The denial of Lloyd’s motion to dismiss Osborne’s lawsuit marks a significant development in the case, allowing it to proceed to trial. Homeowners in Hawaii seeking more information can contact Foster Law Offices online or by phone.

Osborne’s story reflects the challenges faced by many Puna homeowners in dealing with insurance claims after the devastating effects of the Kīlauea eruption. The outcome of these lawsuits could have broader implications for how insurance companies handle claims in similar natural disaster situations.

After I was injured in a jet skiing collision, Jeff helped me navigate an insurance settlement along with everything else that comes with a personal injury case. Given what he had to work with, Jeff helped me get a more than fair settlement from the other involved person’s insurance provider. Then he continued to negotiate with my insurance provider to minimize the amount I owed for my medical bills. I wish I had hired Jeff sooner! It would have protected me early on in the situation and saved me tons of stress. Jeff and his office were a pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking for the best possible outcome from their personal injury.

Jeff Foster represented our family in a very tragic accident where we all lost the most amazing man we’ll ever know. He was extremely compassionate and showed so much care in the way that he handled all of us being in such a fragile state. I would highly recommend Jeff to represent you and would strongly say look no further. Our family will be forever grateful.

I was the victim of an auto accident in December of 2014 that left me with debilitating whiplash injuries and loss of function. I contacted Jeff Foster on a recommendation from my son and after consulting with him I felt very comfortable in hiring him to handle my case. I found him to be kind, compassionate, and an excellent communicator throughout and I feel he did an exceptional job for me. He kept me informed at each step, explained everything very clearly throughout the process, returned my calls immediately whenever I had a question, and made sure that I always felt comfortable with the direction the case was heading. I felt that I was a part of a very supportive team and am pleased with the conclusion of my case. I would highly recommend Jeff Foster as a kind and truly caring professional.

Jeff represented me in my automobile injury claim. After getting the run around from the insurance company, I decide to get a consultation with Foster Law. Jeff took care of everything and made sure all my injuries medical bills were taken care of. Let the professional deal with the insurance companies.

If you get in an accident see Jeff, don’t make the mistake of trying to deal with the insurance company on your own.

Jeff was proactive in his representation from day one. He came to my nursing home after my bodily injury accident and made me feel at ease and told me not to worry that he would handle the case. I hired Jeff on the spot. Jeff is an excellent attorney, soft spoken but also firm on what his client needs. If you are looking for an attorney who has compassion, integrity, and knowledge in personal injury law, Jeff is the attorney for you! My husband and I are so blessed to have had Jeff as an advocate for this case and we cannot thank him enough for a settlement that was quick and fair.

Mr. Foster was my attorney in a very tough Foreclosure case and he was able to get me into Mediation and ultimately because of this we were able to save our home. My family and I are very grateful for his hard work and due diligence. I highly recommend Jeff Foster.

Jeff was a great representative. He was responsive, reasonable, personable, and got me a great result in my personal injury claim. Despite living in a different time zone, he was easy to work with and available when I needed him. I would be happy to recommend him.

Foster Law did an excellent job representing me in my auto injury claim. It was a low impact accident which resulted in an injury requiring surgery. Jeff Foster and his team stood up to bat and fought hard for me. They were caring and understanding, always promptly returned e-mails and phone calls, and taking the time to thoroughly explain my options to me. I couldn’t be happier with the result as they were able to get the maximum amount due to me through my and the at fault party’s insurance policies.

I was very fortunate to have had Jeff untangle my “Jennifer McTigue real estate nightmare”. I had significant issues with my title, several banking institutions laying claim to my property, and Jeff navigated my case to a very satisfactory conclusion. There aren’t enough positive adjectives that I can use to describe his handling of my case. I refer him to everyone with any real estate issues. The best!!
