Mohawk Mountain v. American Home Insurance Co. -- Insurance coverage claim brought on behalf of Mohawk Mountain following a series of tornadoes, which caused damage to distinct areas of the Mountain.
Mohawk was insured by the defendant for property damage to a limit of $750,000. Mohawk Mountain claimed that two distinct tornados struck the Mountain at different points of time and caused separate damage to the ski area in excess of $2 million, and therefore Mohawk was entitled to be compensated for damage caused by each separate tornado. The defendant insurance company retained the world's foremost authority on tornadoes, Dr. Teatsu Fujita from Japan, for whom the tornado wind speed scale is derived: ( F1-F5) Dr. Fujita testified that one storm produced both tornadoes as part of a cluster, which could not be separated individually. Legally, the issue was whether there was one occurrence or two occurrences of loss for purposes of the insurance policy. Attorney Price's effective cross-examination of Dr. Fujita was essential to a jury finding that Mohawk Mountain was entitled to be compensated for the damage caused by each separate tornado. The jury awarded $750,000, plus interest of $246,000.
