Analysis · METC · Energy & Transportation
A federal jury has awarded Ramaco Resources $30.0 million in damages against Chubb subsidiaries for wrongfully denying an insurance claim tied to a 2018 silo collapse. The verdict—$2.5M for aggravation and inconvenience plus $27.5M for net economic loss—represents a material cash recovery for a company that burned $157.8M in the first half of 2026 and is trading near its 52-week low. Attorney's fees remain to be determined by the Court, and the defendants can still file post-trial motions or appeal, so the award is not yet final.
