Pretzel & Stouffer Attorneys Obtain Summary Judgment for Insurer

David Bennett and Rich Burgland recently obtained summary judgment in favor of their insurer client. The court found that their client had no duty to defend an underlying lawsuit seeking damage to residential apartment units from the insured’s allegedly faulty roof work.

The court agreed with Dave’s and Rich’s arguments that both counts against the insured were premised on the allegation that the insured negligently failed to secure an open roof, thereby triggering an exclusion in the policy’s roofing operations endorsement.
