Bates White expert’s statistical analysis cited in arbitration matter win
Angela Rockwell testified in an arbitration matter that resulted in a favorable outcome for the client. In this arbitration, the plaintiff sought insurance coverage related to a significant environmental event. Dr. Rockwell testified on behalf of five insurance carriers. In her analysis and testimony, she identified flaws in the opposing expert’s statistical analysis that rendered the expert’s conclusions unreliable.
The arbitration panel issued a final award denying the plaintiff’s claim for coverage of the event. The ruling focused on statistical evidence as presented by Dr. Rockwell. The client remarked, “The panel focused exclusively on the statistics and . . . was clearly persuaded by [her] compelling testimony.”
