Ken Frenchman Speaks With Claims Journal About Walmart’s Dispute with Insurers Concerning Reimbursement of Tracy Morgan Settlement Fees

June 22, 2017·News·less than a minute

Ken Frenchman recently spoke with Claims Journal about a dispute between Walmart and its insurers concerning reimbursement for a confidential settlement agreement that Walmart reached with  famed comedian Tracey Morgan following Mr. Morgan’s  tragic motor vehicle  accident involving a Walmart delivery truck.  Mr. Frenchman explained that insurers are arguing that the amount Walmart paid to settle Mr. Morgan’s claim is unreasonable.   The insurers alleged that Walmart did not investigate and evaluate the injury claims properly nor provide the insurers with a report of the settlement negotiations. “If the settlement reflects a lifetime of pain and suffering and loss of working in a very lucrative job, that would add up to a lot of damages. If it’s a year of pain and suffering and being out of work in a lucrative job, it would be much less damaging,” said Frenchman.  While the insurers are basing their arguments on what Mr. Morgan is doing now with the benefit of hindsight, Mr. Frenchman explained, the settlement needs to be based on the information that was available to Walmart at the time.
