Two years ago, Susan Rattner’s 11,000-square-foot multimillion-dollar mansion in Great Falls, Va. burned down in the middle of the night.
Rattner’s insurance company accused her of either starting the fire or knowing who did. On Wednesday, a jury sided with Chubb National Insurance Co., issuing a ruling that will cost Rattner hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“She told people she loved her house,” Jeffrey O’Hara, an attorney for Chubb, told jurors. “She couldn’t stand this house.”
