Hartford Settles Lawyer’s Suit Involving Treasury Deputy
This article is for subscribers only.
Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. settled a lawsuit by a Texas attorney who accused the insurer of causing him to be prosecuted on bribery charges that were later dropped after a mistrial, a lawyer for the man said.
The lawyer’s negligence allegations against Hartford included claims that the company’s former general counsel, Neal S. Wolin, now U.S. deputy treasury secretary, took part in a cover-up linked to alleged extortion by two employees, attorneys for the lawyer told jurors in opening statements last week.
