The situation
An insurer’s policyholder suffered water damage from a defective dishwasher purchased from a large retail chain. After paying the claim, the insurer referred the file for recovery against the retailer.
Our approach
Precision Paralegal Services filed a civil claim against the retailer based on the alleged product defect.
The retailer disputed the claim and named the manufacturer as a party. We continued pursuing the matter and negotiated toward resolution.
The parties reached a settlement. We obtained a signed release and filed a Notice of Withdrawal to close the court file.
The outcome
The claim settled, a release was signed and the court file was formally withdrawn.
What this case illustrates
The retailer’s dispute and the manufacturer’s involvement changed the course of the action, but did not prevent a negotiated resolution. This matter illustrates a settlement reached after another party was brought into a product-related claim.
