Subrogation
Hagerty & Brady has successfully prosecuted and defended multi-million dollar subrogation claims. The firm has represented insureds and insurance companies in securing remuneration resulting from catastrophic fires and explosions. The firm's success in these subrogation cases was based in part on our ability to work with local authorities conducting the initial investigations which, in many cases, established the crucial element of cause and origin.
Our firm has worked with top local and national experts on both causation and damage issues. This type of expertise supplements the firm's legal talent and has helped maximize results for our clients.
A sampling of our successes includes:
- A multi-million dollar recovery on behalf of an insurer based on demonstrating the negligence of the architect, contractor, and construction manager in the renovation and construction of a large retail establishment, which caused widespread damage due to fire spread.
- Successfully defending a major utility company on a multi-million dollar claim where the theory of liability against the utility dealt with a power failure and subsequent power surge.
- A favorable recovery for the insurer of a large poultry business which burned due to a faulty industrial dryer.
- Recovery for an owner of warehouse facilities destroyed in a catastrophic propane explosion.
