Allstate Settled

DRE, A.P.C. recently achieved a significant win for a local plumber in a demanding case brought forth by Allstate Insurance Company. The core of Allstate's claim was a serious accusation: they alleged that our client's plumbing work on a fire-damaged home was the direct and sole cause of the blaze itself. This wasn't just a minor dispute; Allstate was aggressively pursuing a substantial $132,000 in subrogation costs. Such a colossal sum, had it been awarded, would have posed an existential threat to our client's business, potentially forcing them into severe financial distress or even closure.

From the outset, we recognized the gravity of the situation and the immense pressure our client was under. We meticulously investigated the circumstances surrounding the fire and our client's work, compiling comprehensive evidence to counter Allstate's allegations. Through diligent effort, strategic negotiation, and a deep understanding of subrogation law, we were able to significantly reduce the insurer's demands.

Ultimately, we successfully settled the case for a mere $19,000. This outcome represents a phenomenal reduction from Allstate's initial claim and is a testament to DRE, A.P.C.'s commitment to vigorously defending our clients. Our client is, understandably, exceptionally pleased with this resolution. What could have been a prolonged, stressful, and potentially ruinous legal battle has been definitively resolved, allowing them to avoid further litigation and focus on their business with peace of mind. This case underscores our dedication to protecting the livelihoods of the businesses and individuals we represent.
