• In the last year, we have settled over $10 million dollars in cases.
• In June 2011, we settled 6 cases totaling in excess of $7 million dollars in recoveries for our association clients, including a 216 unit collapse case.
• In addition, in a recent construction defect case we included in the Complaint a claim arising from the use of defective yellow brass fittings in the association’s plumbing system.
• We are also in the process of filing several other claims arising from the use of defective yellow brass fittings in plumbing systems on behalf of other association clients.

While many property managers and Boards are familiar with construction defect cases, they are less familiar with collapse claim and piping defect issues. 

To learn more about these issues, please read our Frequently Asked Questions section (FAQ) with senior partner Jerry H. Stein on the problems of yellow brass fittings and with attorney Dan Houser on the issue of collapse claims.
