Los Angeles partners Otis Felder and Valeria Granata obtained a good faith settlement order from the Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of a property owner and its property manager involved in a property damage subrogation lawsuit. The plaintiff, a subrogated insurer, sued a tenant, who then sued our clients along with their maintenance company for contribution,  to recover the $5.4 million in damages the plaintiff insurer paid to its insured, a medical office. The plaintiff sought reimbursement for water damages caused by another tenant in our client's building. Pursuant to the service agreement between our clients and the maintenance company, which contained an indemnity provision, the maintenance company accepted our clients' tenders and, after years of litigation, agreed to pay the plaintiff its $1 million policy limits coverage contingent upon the court granting a good faith settlement motion barring all claims against it and our clients. The tenant defendant seeking contribution objected to the settlement and maintained that the court should consider our clients' excess policies. The court disagreed, finding no evidence of any duty owed by our clients directly to the tenants considering anti-subrogation waivers in their leases and a failure to preserve evidence. The court further found that our clients' excess policies were not material to the determination. Otis and Valeria's arguments and skillful representation emphasize the significance of successful use of tenders, anti-subrogation waivers and indemnification provisions in resolving claims against Wilson Elser's clients without their having to contribute to the settlement.
