Contractors can face significant exposure when their underlying agreements are not properly structured, even when experienced insurance defense counsel is involved.

𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗞𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲 examines how carefully drafted indemnification and arbitration provisions can help contractors minimize risk, strengthen contract protections and better control the outcome of disputes in an article for 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧.

The article also explores how these provisions can complement, rather than conflict with, home improvement contract requirements.

Another successful outcome for Stepan Naldzhyan who represented our client, a paving contractor, in a construction defect case involving a luxury residence in Palm Springs, California. 👏

The developer sold the property in June 2021 for $4.7 million. After moving in, the homeowners alleged numerous design and construction defects and pursued claims through binding arbitration, ultimately obtaining an award of approximately $1.3 million.

Although our client served as a subcontractor on the project, a detailed investigation by Steve into the underlying arbitration proceedings confirmed that none of the alleged defects or resulting damages were attributable to its scope of work. Relying on these findings, Steve successfully demonstrated that the claims against our client lacked merit.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: Our client was dismissed from the litigation without any liability or settlement payment.

Steve obtained a dismissal with prejudice for our client in a wrongful death case arising from an accident at a luxury residential property in Laguna Beach, California.

The plaintiff, who was the decedent’s mother, alleged liability after the decedent fell through a skylight while roofing work was being performed at the property.

Through investigation and extensive discovery, including several days of depositions of the decedent’s successor in interest, our client’s person most knowledgeable, and employees who were present at the construction site, Steve developed testimony and evidence establishing that our client had no liability for the incident and the plaintiff’s claim was barred from recovery.

As a result, the plaintiff dismissed our client from the action with prejudice, and our client incurred no liability and made no payment to resolve the case.
