After a Nebraska hotel suffered unexpected water damage, Stutman Law moved quickly to determine the cause of the damage. We retained a skilled mechanical engineer who determined that a bolt associated with a backflow preventer in a mechanical room had failed. Our New Loss team worked to quickly resolve the claim by targeting a contractor who had adjusted the bolt prior to the water damage incident. Our early involvement coupled with diligent subrogation efforts led to recovery of 75% of our client’s damages from the contractor without the need for a costly laboratory exam or litigation.
