Case Number: J-A49010-00
Judge: Todd
Court: Superior Court of Pennsylvania
Plaintiff's Attorney: Douglas L. Price, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Defendant's Attorney: Dennis J. Geis, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Description:
1 Following a successful trial in which George A. Spisak, Jr., alleged the
bad faith of his employer’s insurance company in handling his work-related
claim, Spisak sued the law firm which defended the insurance company,
asserting that his damage award was less than it would have been but for
the firm’s improper redaction of certain documents produced during
discovery. The trial court, by the Honorable Judith L. A. Friedman, granted
the firm’s preliminary objections on collateral estoppel grounds, concluding
that this issue was previously litigated.
