Products Liability Case against Manufacturer Dismissed

January 10, 2012

Bryan J. Ure gained complete dismissal of a refrigeration and freezer unit manufacturer in a subrogation lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed by the plaintiff’s insurance company. The insurance company alleged that a unit manufactured by the refrigeration company and installed in the plaintiff’s home contained a defective ice maker, water line and water valve which resulted in flooding and subsequent remediation of the home.

The arbitration brief was submitted and, based on its contents, the plaintiff dismissed the lawsuit in exchange for an agreement that the defendant would not seek costs against them.
