\n\t\tHome > All Attorneys > Gregory T. Glen
Gregory T. Glen concentrates his practice in premises liability, construction, transportation, product liability, automobile, bad faith insurance claims, arson, commercial litigation, general insurance defense matters, and subrogation. He has represented clients in more than 25 jury trials and 150 mandatory arbitration hearings. Cases tried to verdict include auto accidents, dram shop claims, premises liability, construction defect, and an assortment of cases ranging from breach of contract to bad faith insurance claims. He has litigated cases ranging from small claims to wrongful death and catastrophic losses involving multiple death and injuries, all resulting in favorable outcomes from primary and excess insurance carriers. Gregory has successfully mediated dozens of cases to settlement and litigated and tried cases throughout the entire State of Illinois. He also drafted a winning appeal in a case establishing plaintiff must first seek leave of court before filing a claim for punitive damages pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2-604.1.
\n
Prior to joining Kopka, Gregory worked for a premiere national trial firm representing an excess insurance client. He was a lead trial associate in two bus accidents cases involving multiple deaths and injuries, an excessive force claim against an infamous local township and police department, and a construction defect case that resulted in a $10,000,000 subrogation settlement for a distribution center that sustained a collapsed roof from improper roof drainage.

\nTrial and Case Highlights\n
\n
In a jury trial, in the Circuit Court of Kendall County, Gregory defended a rear-end auto accident whereby the plaintiff sustained a lumbar injury that required surgery. Plaintiffâ€™s counsel asked for $1,552,000. Ultimately, the jury awarded the plaintiff $35,000.
\n
Gregory defended a rear-end auto accident in a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Cook County where the two plaintiffs claimed soft tissue injuries. They asked the jury for $102,000 and were awarded $9,600.
\n
Gregory tried to verdict and received a not guilty award in a dram shop claim arising from an alleged intoxicated driver striking the plaintiffâ€™s vehicle; as a result, the plaintiff lost his left eye and sustained multiple broken bones, including a fractured left hip and ankle.
\n
Another case tried to verdict, wherein Gregory received a not guilty award, was a dram shop/premises liability claim whereby two off-duty Chicago police officers attempted to enter a tavern and the owner refused entrance to the premises. He fought off two assaults and caused them to receive injuries and claimed emotional distress.
\n
In a settlement achieved during trial, Gregory settled a $5,000,000 property loss claim for $5,000 due to negligent spoliation of evidence when the plaintiffâ€™s retained expert witness destroyed a metal coupling from a water riser that broke in a 60-story Chicago high rise, resulting in extensive flooding and water damage.
\n
Gregory obtained a $625,000 subrogation settlement during trial against an electrical contractor responsible for causing $650,000 in property damage due to an electrical fire at an animal hospital in Peoria County, Illinois.
\n
As retained trial consultant for primary counsel in a bad faith insurance claim whereby homeowner intentionally burned down home, Gregory received a not guilty award for the insurance company. In addition, the insurance company was awarded a $125,000 judgment against homeowner on counterclaim for insurance company having to pay mortgage. With no evidence as to how fire was started, plaintiffsâ€™ liability was established when the wife claimed her husband called her cell phone to notify her of the fire. The cell phone records demonstrated that her husband made no such telephone call.

Bio
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
A partner in Plunkett Cooneyâ€™s Insurance Coverage Law Practice Group, Kenneth C. Newa is licensed in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin.
\n
Mr. Newa focuses his practice primarily on representing insurance companies in a wide variety of insurance coverage disputes, including complex, high-exposure coverage litigation relating to environmental, asbestos, toxic tort, manufacturing defects and construction defect claims. Many of these claims involve coverage issues arising from class action lawsuits against policyholders, including claims presented in federal Multi-District Litigation (MDL).
\n
Mr. Newa has served in a national counsel role for insurers in Chinese drywall claims, and window defect class action claims involving window manufacturers Pella, WeatherShield, MI Windows and Doors, and Lincoln Wood. These claims typically involve multiple coverage issues, including trigger of coverage, allocation, application of â€œbusiness riskâ€� exclusions, coverage for â€œrip and tear,â€� impaired property exclusions, and sistership exclusions, among other issues.
\n
Mr. Newa also dedicates a significant part of his practice to counseling insurers and litigating claims regarding alleged bad faith, alleged breaches of covenants of good faith and fair dealing, and unfair claims settlement practices in states throughout the Midwest.
\n
In addition, Mr. Newa represents insurers in coverage claims based upon COVID-19 losses, and he regularly counsels clients on such diverse issues as coverage for Contingent Time Element claims, life insurance, business interruption and first-party claims arising from cyber security breach and ransomware attacks, intellectual property claims, â€œCoverage Bâ€� advertising injury and personal injury claims, â€œsick buildingâ€� claims, including claims for indoor air exposure and mold remediation, and directors and officerâ€™s claims. Mr. Newa regularly prepares coverage opinions and proposed coverage position letters on behalf of insurers, and he conducts first-party property coverage analyses, examinations under oath and property appraisals.
\n
Much of Mr. Newaâ€™s representation of insurance carriers has been on a regional basis, including cases pending in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Florida.

If a matter lists the government as one party, assume the attorney represented the other named party and include that party if it is specifically named and not anonymous.

You MUST pull from all sections in the source code - explicit lists of clients, the narrative biography, listed representative matters, or in news articles listed for this attorney, or the titles thereof. In M&A, if the attorney represented the buyer/acquirer, DO NOT list the acquired target as adverse (since it becomes the client); instead list only the selling side (seller, stockholders, founders, or divesting company). If the attorney represented the seller/target, list the buyer/acquirer. Use cues like \u201cto/with/from/against,\u201d \u201csale to/by,\u201d \u201cacquisition from/by,\u201d \u201cmerger with,\u201d \u201cfinanced by/loan to/from/credit facility with.\u201d In the attorney represented the owner or owning entity of a subsidiary/portfolio company (for example in the case of a restructuring or lending transaction), DO NOT list the subsidiary/portfolio company as adverse; Do not list governments/agencies/courts. Only include an adverse party if its name appears verbatim in the source code and clearly identifies a real person, business, company, organization, or government entity. Do NOT include general descriptions, categories, roles, or descriptors that are not proper names (for example: \"Fortune 50 company\", \"medical billing company\", \"global bank\", \"mayoral candidate\", \"pharmacy\", \"trade association\", \"energy company\", or similar phrases).

What do you enjoy about being an attorney?
My favorite part about being an attorney is that every day is different and every project is a different puzzle. Thereâ€™s no â€œone size fits allâ€� solution, which can be challenging, but also keeps my life interesting.
\n
Where would we find you on a typical Saturday/Sunday?
My son is a year and a half, so weâ€™re up early (with the help of lots of coffee) and then trying to keep up with him the rest of the day â€“ whether at the zoo, a park, or just around the neighborhood.Â
\n
What is the simplest thing you never learned to do?
Iâ€™ve always been jealous of people who can whistle using just their thumb and finger. Iâ€™ve spent more time than Iâ€™d like to admit trying, but have never been able to get the hang of it.

Do NOT include general descriptions, categories, roles, or descriptors that are not proper names (for example: \"Fortune 50 company\", \"medical billing company\", \"global bank\", \"mayoral candidate\", \"pharmacy\", \"trade association\", \"energy company\", or similar phrases).
