Meet the Business Owner

Michael B.

Business Owner

A preeminent consumer attorney whose impact on our healthcare system has been major, senior partner Michael J. Bidart leads the firm’s HMO Litigation and Property/​Casualty Departments.

Since bringing his expertise to the firm in 1986, Mr. Bidart has developed the firm’s health insurance practice by successfully prosecuting bad faith disputes against insurers and HMOs.

His inexhaustible efforts were showcased in 1999 with a landmark $ 120.5 million verdict against Aetna over its refusal to pay for care recommended by the health plan’s own physicians (Goodrich v. Aetna). It was the largest jury verdict ever rendered against an HMO.
