PICA had assigned an attorney to represent Flint-based Hanczaryk in a chiropractic-malpractice claim. Through a combination of errors, the attorney failed to timely file an affidavit of meritorious defense, in addition to a timely motion for reconsideration and application for leave to appeal. The plaintiffs asserted that the attorney, with the help of PICA, reported misleading information in order to justify settlement of the claims. Plaintiffs also contended that the insurance adjusters failed to properly manage the case file by not securing appropriate cause and damage testimony to assist in defense of the case; refused to replace the attorney on file; engaged in concealment regarding their actions; and forced plaintiffs to settle after threatening to invoke non-cooperation and unreasonably withholding settlement authority clauses. 1 of 5 4/10/12 9:25 PM

2 In addition, PICA was accused of filing an erroneous report with the National Practitioner Data Bank against Hanczaryk, adding insult and harm to his reputation; firing him from his position on a national advisory board that PICA controlled, resulting in adverse publicity that harmed his consulting business; and cancelling his policy of 21 years without cause. Defendants argued that Hanczaryk consented to the malpractice settlement; that PICA was ready, willing and able to go to trial for the malpractice claims if Hanczaryk had wanted; and that PICA was only doing what it thought would be in Hanczaryk s best interests and what Hanczaryk wanted it to do. In calculating present and future damages, the jury awarded through 2014, the year that Hanczaryk would be of retirement age. They were broken down as $178,669 for damages to Bristol Chiropractic Centre through present day; $229,549 for business losses through 2014; $3.718 million for lost reputation and emotional damages through present day; and $2,861,400 for lost reputation and emotional damages through Legal malpractice claims that plaintiffs filed against the attorney who was assigned to represent Hanczaryk in the malpractice claim were settled confidentially. Types of actions: Breach of contract, negligence, failure to honor good faith duties, tort of false light invasion of privacy Type of injuries: Financial, reputation Name of case: Hanczaryk, et al. v. Podiatry Insurance Co. of America, et al.
