NJ Insurance Claim Scenarios

Errors and Omissions Insurance

M & M Consulting* , a company focused on consulting proficiency, was employed to lower distribution costs associated with a corporation of bakery chain stores. M& M directed the corporation to bake and package their products themselves while outsourcing its delivery to a transporting business. Working side by side with the bakery corporation, M & M succeeded in implementing the changes by the close of the year.  Things, however, did not go exactly as planned and distribution by the transporting company was delayed. This resulted in a fiscal loss for the bakery chain, prompting a negligence lawsuit against the consulting firm. Cost for the M & M defense surpassed $200,000.

The trucking company sued Softwaves for $3,000,000 in damages, including the costs incurred to complete the project and regain profit losses.
