Our firm represented a young family who had just purchased their first home when disaster struck. Their plumbing system suffered a catastrophic failure, causing sewage water to overflow into their home. When they filed a claim with their insurance company, it was wrongfully denied. The insurer claimed there was no physical damage and argued that the family had forfeited their claim reporting 3 business days after the date the plumbing system overflowed.
Determined to fight for their rights, we litigated the case for years, ensuring the family was heard. After a hard-fought trial, we secured a jury verdict of over $200,000 in unpaid insurance benefits in addition to all of the homeowners’ attorneys fees, costs, and interest. Even after the verdict, the insurance company refused to do the right thing and filed an appeal, which they ultimately lost.
Now, we are pursuing a bad faith claim against the insurance company for their unscrupulous treatment of this family. This case highlights our commitment to standing up for homeowners when insurers try to evade their responsibilities.
