LMM attorneys Mike McDonald and Mary Catherine Tiernan represented the owner of a historical theater in Southern California after the theater sustained significant fire damage resulting from a fire in an adjacent building. The owner was forced to incur hundreds of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket investigation, remediation, and repair costs after insurance providers denied coverage for the loss. The case involved claims against the contractors responsible for installing the electrical components that were believed to have started the fire, as well as the owner’s insurance broker. The cause of the fire and the broker’s negligence were heavily disputed. LMM aggressively pursued the owner’s claims and successfully recovered not only all of the owner’s out-of-pocket damages, but all of the owner’s legal fees and costs as well.
