Bradley Dlatt Quoted in Law360—Attys Say State High Courts Should Weigh COVID Issues

Bradley Dlatt was quoted in "Attys Say State High Courts Should Weigh COVID Issues," an article in Law360,* regarding COVID-19 coverage.

The Seventh Circuit's relative quickness in moving through appeals is indicative of insurance companies' "strategic choice to fast-track" motions to dismiss in these cases before policyholders could conduct discovery, according to Bradley Dlatt, who represents policyholders.

He told Law360 in an emailed statement that "fast-tracking a huge swath of similar cases is normal where there's a similar, discrete legal issue" but the problem here is that there wasn't development of evidence on the impact the virus has to property in early-filed cases that "won the race" to the Seventh Circuit.
