  • In July 2014, David J. Hungeling Law Office won a motion for summary judgment on an insurance coverage dispute in a massive bank failure case in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, which preserved $100 million in insurance for the former officers and directors of Westernbank. Read the Court’s opinion W. Holding Co. Inc. v. AIG Ins. Co., 11-CV-2271-GAG, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 94005 (July 9, 2014).
