Steven Badger to Present at LEA’s Spring & Education Conference
June 8, 2018Steven Badger, a partner in the Dallas office of Zelle, will present at the Loss Executives Association’s 87th Spring & Education Conference. The conference will take place in Newport, Rhode Island on June 6-8, 2018.
Badger’s presentation, titled “Subrogation Actions: Insurance & Public Policy Issues Arising from the 9/11 Terrorist Attack,” will provide an inside look at the events leading up to 9/11, with a particular focus on issues involving failures in aviation security. Badger will also discuss the numerous insurance and public policy issues that arose during the course of the litigation.
For seven years, Badger served on the Plaintiffs Executive Committee leading the $5 billion subrogation action against airlines and aviation security companies alleged to have been responsible for the 9/11 Terrorist Attack. This historic litigation concluded in a $1.2 billion settlement for the participating property insurers, reportedly the largest subrogation recovery ever obtained by the insurance industry.
