Defense Verdict in Arbitration on a Hurricane Irma Claim With Questionable Causation and Damages

Kameron Romaelle, of our Ft. Lauderdale office, obtained a defense verdict at arbitration!  This is a Hurricane Irma case where the Insureds received a knock on their door from a roofing company who informed them that (several years after the storm) their roof was damaged and they needed a full replacement. Kameron argued that Plaintiff, the roofing company, failed to provide any evidence that the roof was, in fact, damaged from Hurricane Irma and that it needed a full replacement. In fact, Kameron was able to show that, even if the roof was damaged, a repair could be made and used the Florida Building Code to support his position. He even showed the arbitrator that the roof tiles were available to purchase for the repair. The arbitrator ultimately found that Plaintiff failed to meet its burden of proof. The client was extremely happy with this result!
