In what is believed to be the largest judgment stemming from the 1992 riots, a Los Angeles Superior Court jury has awarded more than $7 million to the owner of a Domino's pizza franchise that was burned out during the civil disturbance. Ordered to pay, under verdicts returned Wednesday and Thursday, were the Insurance Co. of North America and the Gold Cities Insurance Agency--which jointly refused to pay the approximately $200,000 claim submitted by Dennis Stephan, according to his suit.

The Domino's Pizza man in Willowbrook has been told to forget about quick delivery of one order. It's the $7 million that a jury ordered an insurance company to pay pizzeria owner Dennis Stephan. It could be two years before the cash arrives--if it ever does. A jury awarded the judgment six months ago after Stephan sued the Insurance Co. of North America and one of its agents for allegedly failing to reimburse him when his Domino's outlet was burned down in the 1992 riots.
