PROPERTY SUBROGATION - WATER LOSS CLAIMS

Colorado Water Loss Subrogation Attorneys
Water loss claims are among the most common, and often most recoverable, types of property subrogation. Our attorneys have extensive experience pursuing recovery for carriers following water damage losses caused by product or installation failures.

Common Claim Types
We handle subrogation recovery for losses involving supply line failures (including ice maker lines, dishwasher lines, and washing machine hoses), fitting and connector failures, valve malfunctions, including shut-off and pressure-reducing valves, and freeze-related pipe bursts, often involving issues regarding adequate winterization, insulation, or builder/installer responsibility.

Recovery Targets
Depending on the cause of loss, recovery may be available from the product manufacturer (under product liability theories), the installer or contractor (for installation errors), or a property management company or other third party responsible for maintenance.

Why Product Preservation Is Critical
In water loss subrogation, the failed component itself is often the most important piece of evidence. Once a product is discarded or a repair is completed without preserving the failed part, recovery potential can be significantly diminished. We work with carriers and adjusters early in the claims process to help ensure failed components are identified, documented, and preserved for expert evaluation.

Working With Experts to Preserve the Scene and Provide Notice
In addition, preservation of the scene and adequate notice to all potentially at-fault parties is critical to ensuring the best potential for maximum recovery and prevention of potential spoliation claims.  Our attorneys retain and work with the necessary experts to ensure that potential recovery targets are identified early and appropriate notice is provided to facilitate a quick, productive recovery process.

High-Volume, Efficient Handling
We understand that water loss claims represent a high volume of subrogation referrals for many carriers. Our firm is structured to handle these claims efficiently, with fee arrangements designed to make pursuing recovery on smaller claims cost-effective.
