Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas, NV) was retained to represent a manufacturer against a water loss subrogation claim at a luxury home near Lake Tahoe. The homeowner's insurer alleged the client's water system equipment was defective and caused extensive damage to the home. The subrogating insurer timely filed suit but failed to timely open discovery. The Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County, Nevada, agreed the subrogating insurer failed to present compelling and extraordinary circumstances to excuse the delay. Michael's motion to dismiss was granted.
