In a recent decision by an Ohio federal court, two insurers have been ordered to pay $1.65 million each, amounting to a total of $3.3 million, towards costs incurred by a unit of Chubb. These costs pertained to the defense of Safelite, a windshield repair company, against a lawsuit initiated by a competitor.
