Shannen Doherty just scored a major legal victory against her insurance company, State Farm, after a jury sided with the actress in her ongoing lawsuit, on Monday.

The court awarded $6,346,000 in damages to the 50-year-old star who had previously accused State Farm of not adequately removing harmful soot, char and ash particles in and around her home after it was damaged by a wildfire, according to her lead counsel.

Doherty, who is currently battling stage IV breast cancer, released a statement obtained by DailyMail.com thanking the jury for returning a verdict in her favor.

'We thank the members of the jury for their thoughtful consideration of Shannen’s case,' she said via her lead attorney Devin McRae.

'We are happy they saw the case the way we do. This should send a message to State Farm and other institutions that they should not forget they are dealing with human beings,' McRae continued.

Shannen sued her insurance company for $1.4 million for not providing proper assistance when her house was damaged by the 2018 Woolsey Fire in Malibu.

In her suit, Doherty claimed the company 'took advantage' of her situation and refused to arrange enough coverage after her house and surrounding property in Malibu suffered severe smoke damage.
