Austin Mehr has been invited to speak at the Laurel County Bar association meeting on August 8, 2019 on the topic of bad faith. His program is approved by the KBA for 1 hour of CLE.

An insurance company ordered by a Magoffin County jury to dish out $15.3 million to the heirs of a Saylersville family will appeal, the company’s attorney said, further extending an 11-year legal battle that likely involves the largest bad-faith insurance verdict in the state’s history.

The jury handed down the verdict late last month, compelling the company to pay the heirs of a family that owned mineral rights for a Magoffin County property where two drilling companies wrongfully extracted about $1.3 million of natural gas more than a decade ago, according to documents filed in the case.

In 2007, about 80 people who inherited mineral rights to the property brought the case against natural gas drilling companies J.D. Carty Resources, LLC., and Anaconda Drilling, LLC., for wrongfully extracting and selling natural gas from the land, according to court records.

Anxiety can manifest in multiple different ways. Generalized anxiety disorder is a common form of anxiety that is classified by the patient experiencing a state of worry and uneasiness, not related to anything, for at least six months.

It is possible to develop generalized anxiety disorder at any age. GAD has similar traits to panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other forms of anxiety, however, they all differ.

Living with GAD can be a challenge every day. In most cases, GAD is accompanied by another anxiety or mood disorder. Normally, GAD improves with medication, diet, and psychotherapy. Mediation and learning other coping skills have also been known to help improve the day-to-day life of most patients.
