S K Peightal Engineers, LTD v. Mid Valley Real Estate Sols. V, LLC

Acting as personal counsel advising our client on its insurance coverage associated with antitrust claims brought against them. We have succeeded in getting the insurance company to provide a full defense and agree to retain their preferred anti-trust attorneys.

We were asked to assist with a construction defect claim and resulting insurance issues. We reviewed our clients insurance policy and discovered that they had a broad earth movement coverage, providing $50M in coverage. The insurance companies refused to cover the losses, prompting us to file suit in state court. Through discovery and motions practice, we obtained a $5.6M settlement, which reimbursed the out-of-pocket costs to our client.

Represented a public school district in a contract dispute and secured the district a defense in the matter that was funded by its insurer.

Successfully litigated against a residential construction developer’s insurer and ultimately secured coverage for first party property damage under the developer’s builder’s risk policy.

Regularly advocates for coverage on behalf of insurance brokers’ clients who are denied coverage by their insurance carriers in order to reach quick resolution and payment of claims ranging from professional liability, pollution, directors and officers, and general liability claims to first party property claims.
