The situation
An insurance company client engaged Precision Paralegal Services to pursue a property damage claim involving a plumbing contractor in Alberta.
Our approach
Our team advanced the claim, undertook tracing work to locate the contractor, and prepared the matter for court proceedings. Photographs and video were provided to the opposing representative as part of the discussions about the loss.
Precision Paralegal Services continued settlement discussions while reviewing the prospect and cost of proceeding to trial with the client.
The matter was resolved through a negotiated settlement. A settlement cheque was recorded on the file, and our team completed the withdrawal of the action.
The outcome
The claim was resolved through a negotiated monetary settlement, and the action was withdrawn.
What this case illustrates
