Biography
A veteran of more than 117 jury trials, Jay is a member of Litchfield Cavo’s Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice group. Jay is a civil litigation and trial attorney, focusing his practice over the past 35 years on the defense of insurers and corporations of toxic tort, products liability defense, insurance coverage, construction defect, employment litigation, personal injury defense, and medical malpractice.
Jay also specializes in environmental law from the insurance perspective, having handled numerous insurance coverage issues and liability cases. The American Bar Association chose Jay to participate in its subcommittee focusing on revisions of the Comprehensive General Liability Policy, with special emphasis on rewriting the “sudden and accidental” pollution exclusion, which is now standard in most CGL insurance policies.
In recent years, with the rise in internet advertising and intellectual property claims, Jay has defended insureds and litigated coverage for these claims under the current Insurance Services Office policy forms. An FAA licensed pilot, Jay also handles selected aviation matters, including cases before the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board. Jay is a panel counsel for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.
