    Insured Under Property Insurance Policy Should Comply With Post-Loss Policy Conditions

    June 10, 2019 —
    Your property insurance policy will contain post-loss policy conditions. Examples include submitting a sworn statement in proof of loss, providing documentation to your insurer, and sitting for an examination under oath. Insurers will require you, as the insured, to comply with post-loss policy conditions unless they elect to promptly deny coverage. If you do not comply with such post-loss policy conditions you can forfeit coverage under the policy and/or give the insurer the argument that any lawsuit you filed against the property insurer is premature. Thus, there really is no upside in refusing to comply with the post-loss policy conditions, which should be done in consult with an attorney or, as the case may be, a public adjuster.

    Illinois Supreme Court Finds Construction Defect Claim Triggers Initial Grant of Coverage

    February 26, 2024 —
    The Illinois Supreme Court found that the underlying allegations addressing construction defects were sufficient to establish "property damage" caused by an "occurrence."Acuity v. M/I Homes of Chicago, LLC, 2023 Ill. LEXIS 1019 (Ill. Nov. 30, 2023). M/I Homes was the general contractor for a residential townhome development. The Owners' Association sued for breach of conract and breach of the implied warranty of habitability against M/I Homes. The complaint alleged that M/I Homes' subcontractors caused construction defects by using defective materials, conducting faulty workmanship and failing to comply with applicable building codes. The defects included leakage and uncontrolled water with moisture in locations in the buildings where it was not intended or expected. The Association further alleged that M/I Homes did not intend to cause the construction defects nor did it expect or intend the resulting property damage, such as damage to other building materials. The complaint further alleged that M/I Homes did not perform any of the construction work and that the subconractors performed all the work on its behalf. Read the court decision

    Coverage for Faulty Workmanship Denied

    June 29, 2020 —
    The court found there was no coverage for the insureds' alleged negligent failure to construct a building. Evanston Ins. Co. v. DCM Contracting, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 63977 (N.D. Ga. Feb. 28, 2020). Turning Point Church sued DCM Contracting for faulty workmanship on a construction project. Turning Point sent a demand letter to DCM on August 18, 2017 and filed suit in December. Evanston did not receive notice of Turning Point's claims and the lawsuit until May 15, 2018. Evanston filed suit for a declaratory judgment and moved for summary judgment. The court first considered the late notice. The policy required notice "as soon as practicable" DCM was also required to provide copies of demands, notices, or legal papers to Evanston. Here, DCM did not give notice to Evanston until nine months after receipt of Turning Point's demand. A phone communication with DCM's agent between August 2017 and May 2018 was insufficient. DCM provided no documents, including the summons and complaint, to the agent. DCM waited five months to forward the underlying lawsuit. This was a breach of the policy. Read the court decision

    Civility Is Key in Construction Defect Mediation

    February 12, 2013 —
    Eugene Heady of Smith Currie & Hancock reminds those involved in construction disputes to “lay down the swords.” Yes, it’s an adversarial situation, but “mediating parties must understand that courtesy, candor, and cooperation on the part of their respective lawyers will help contain the conflict and help resolve the dispute more quickly and efficiently.” Instead of doing battle with the opposition, Mr. Heady says that one should “approach mediation as an opportunity to solve a complex problem, rather than an opportunity for conquest over one’s enemy.” Read the court decision

    McGraw Hill to Sell off Construction-Data Unit

    March 19, 2014 —
    McGraw Hill Financial announced “plans to sell a construction-data unit concentrated on the U.S. market” according to The Wall Street Journal. This follows McGraw Hill’s determination to “focus on global operations and cutting costs.” “The construction division ‘is not a business linked to the global markets,’” Douglas L. Peterson, McGraw Hill’s Chief Executive said to The Wall Street Journal. “’It's very different’ than its other units, such as Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, J.D. Power or S&P Capital IQ, with the potential for larger international footprints.” McGraw Hill’s construction division “sells commercial-real-estate information to developers and manufacturers” and “generates about $170 million in annual revenue.” The division “employs about 650 people.” Read the court decision
