John maintains a practice that is dominated by catastrophic, complex, and class action litigation in the State and Federal Courts.

He has also argued numerous appeals in the State and Federal appellate courts as counsel for a party and as amicus counsel for lawyer and trade associations. Through the years, he has been admitted pro hac vice in more than 25 jurisdictions, and is frequently hired by out-of-state firms to serve as local counsel in Indiana.

He is also frequently named as an arbitrator in bodily injury, business dissolution, employment, and commercial disputes.

John has distinguished himself as a bar leader. He has been president of the state defense bar, and is a past Defense Lawyer of the Year honoree.

Indiana Appellate Decision Maynona Blackmon v. Mt. Zion Apostolic Church, Inc.

Seventh Circuit affirms dismissal of action by collection agent for volunteer fire departments to recover environmental cleanup costs under CERCLA
11-2381

When insureds are involved in automobile accidents, volunteer fire departments typically respond and render environmental cleanup services. A collection agent for the volunteer fire departments often attempts to recover the expenses for the clean-up costs from accident victims and their insurance companies by contending that a right to collect such charges existed under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). 42 USC § 9601 et. seq. John Trimble and Richard K. Shoultz represented The Insurance Institute of Indiana, Inc., Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, and Wisconsin Insurance Alliance in asking the Seventh Circuit to affirm the Northern District of Indiana’s dismissal of the collection agent’s lawsuit against the insureds and insurance companies. The Seventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal, concluding that an insured’s use of an automobile that may have been involved in an accident qualified as part of a “consumer product” exception under CERCLA, which prohibited the use of the act to recover for environmental cleanup costs.

It is anticipated that this decision will be a significant one in curtailing volunteer fire department’s efforts to overcome budget shortcomings by imposing environmental cleanup costs upon insureds and their insurance companies.

Indiana Supreme Court ruled in favor of an insurance company on insured's obligation to give timely notice of a loss and timely notice of a lawsuit
The Indiana Supreme Court ruled in favor of an insurance company on the issue of the insured's obligation to give timely notice of a loss and timely notice of a lawsuit. The Court also addressed the significant issue of what is an "occurrence" under a CGL policy.

Empire Fire and Marine Ins. Co. v. Frierson
2016 WL 276482Lewis Wagner team members, John Trimble, Richard Shoultz and Chuck Whybrew, were hired by the client to pursue post-judgment and appellate relief of an adverse verdict entered against the client. Specifically, the plaintiff, a renter of an automobile from a rental car company, was involved in an automobile accident with an underinsured motorist (“UIM”). The renter sought UIM coverage from the rental car company and its insurer, Empire Fire and Marine Insurance Company (“Empire”). Empire denied that any UIM coverage was available based upon language contained in the rental agreement and the insurance policy with the rental car company, whose terms were incorporated into the rental agreement.

The Trial Court denied Empire’s Motion for Summary Judgment. Although the renter did not seek nor did the Court specifically grant summary judgment on the coverage issues to the renter, the trial court refused to allow Empire to argue its coverage defenses at trial. As a result, a significant verdict was entered against the insurance company.

The Lewis Wagner attorneys first sought post-judgment relief at the trial court level by filing a Motion to Correct Error and for Additional Setoff. The Trial Court denied the Motion to Correct Error, but granted, in part, the request for setoff by reducing the judgment against Empire after deducting amounts received by the renter from the UIM.

On appeal, the Court reversed the Trial Court’s denial of Empire’s Motion for Summary Judgment. Specifically, the Court found that any coverage provided by Empire was under a “commercial excess liability” policy, and pursuant to Indiana Code 27-7-5-2(d), such coverage was not required to be made available to insureds or rejected by them. Consequently, the Court instructed that summary judgment be entered in favor of Empire.
