Summary Judgment Granted in Homeowners’ Case Involving “Faulty Workmanship” Policy Provision

Kameron Romaelle, of our Ft. Lauderdale office, prevailed in a case involving cross-summary judgments. The plaintiff alleged her tile shower was damaged as the result of a company hired to polish the bathroom tile and filed a claim under her homeowners’ policy. The insurer denied the claim under the “faulty workmanship” provision of the policy. Both parties filed motions for summary judgment, with the insured arguing that this provision was inapplicable because the area where the damage occurred was not the specific area polished by the contractor. The court rejected the plaintiff-insured’s argument, denied her motion for summary judgment, and partially granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment.  This led to the plaintiff dismissing the case with prejudice shortly after the hearing.
