About Austin Mehr

Austin Mehr is a distinguished attorney known for his extensive experience in insurance bad faith litigation. He has successfully tried more cases to judgment in this area than any other legal counsel in Kentucky. His notable verdicts include a $4,394,681 judgment against The Medical Protective Company in Kenton County (2009) and a $2,634,175 verdict against Kentucky National Insurance Company in Bell County (2011).

Additional significant outcomes include a $1,784,836 judgment against Home Insurance Company of Indiana in Pike County (1998) and a $1,030,000 award against Kentucky Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company in Lincoln County (2000). Other cases include a $950,833 verdict against Hamilton Mutual Insurance Company in Taylor County (2006) and a $455,000 judgment against Standard Life Insurance Company & Investors Life Insurance Company of North America in Fayette County (1999).

Mehr's record also includes defense verdicts, such as the one for Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company in Lee County (2002). While these amounts were determined by the respective Circuit Courts in Kentucky, they do not necessarily reflect the final amounts received by plaintiffs. Judgments may have increased due to attorney fees and interest, decreased after settlements, or been altered on appeal. These figures are a sample of the judgments achieved by Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers, PLLC, illustrating the variability of case outcomes.
