Nationwide Recoveries

Recovery in a Case Barred by Waiver

Stutman Law obtained a settlement in the amount of $175,000 in a Kentucky case where a water loss occurred when an employee of a sprinkler company was tightening a bolt on a two-inch coupling associated with the sprinkler system. The defendant was protected by a AIA waiver of subrogation clause. Stutman Law attorneys established that neither party read or understood the waiver inside the contract, therefore there was no meeting of the minds with respect to the waiver. This argument netted our client a six-figure recovery in a case that was arguably barred by contract.
