Boosted Cottage Settlement by $210K

Background

A multi-million dollar cottage on the lake was damaged in a windstorm in Spring 2022. Damage included a tree on the cottage roof, tree on the coach house and damage to the docks and boat system. After 6 weeks of having to clean up on their own with no response from their insurance company, the client hired us. The client estimated the claim was worth $60k.

How We Helped

We took on the case and worked with a structural engineer who assisted us in determining there was extensive damage to the cottage. We also found there was much more extensive damage to the docks and boat system. Upon further inspection, they needed to be completely replaced.

Outcome

The claim was closed with a final settlement value of $270,000, an increase of 210K, 4.5x what the client initially thought the claim would be worth.
