Insurer To Appeal Annuities Verdict

An insurance company said Friday that it would appeal a $17.4-million verdict against it for selling an Inland Empire man a series of annuities that wouldn't mature until he was 97.

A Riverside County Superior Court jury awarded Ernst Hammermueller, 86, of Palm Desert $3.4 million in compensatory damages June 23 and an additional $14 million in punitive damages June 27, according to attorneys in the case.
