We are proud to announce a significant legal victory for BWB&O’s contractor client in a complex and hard-fought case involving alleged construction defects to the flooring system at a major hospital in the Bay Area. BWB&O partners Bryan Stofferahn and Jason DiGioia successfully secured nearly $12 million in recovery from multiple cross-defendants, including the architect, product manufacturers, and product suppliers of the materials installed by BWB&O’s client.
The case arose from the catastrophic failure of a never-before-installed flooring system, which resulted in severe cracking and necessitated the replacement of the entire flooring system. BWB&O’s contractor client pursued recovery after settling with the hospital owner, navigating multiple legal and insurance coverage challenges along the way. Throughout the process, Bryan and Jason worked tirelessly, overcoming significant coverage issues and successfully triggering multiple insurance policies of the cross-defendants. After lengthy expert depositions, the case was globally settled. Bryan and Jason secured an 8-figure settlement, but more importantly, they also preserved the business operations of BWB&O’s client.
At BWB&O, we take immense pride in the hard work and dedication that led to this remarkable result. Bryan and Jason exemplified the highest standards of legal advocacy and commitment to our clients’ success. This victory underscores BWB&O’s relentless pursuit of justice and our unwavering dedication to supporting our clients through even the most challenging legal matters. We are grateful to have played a part in not only securing financial recovery for our client but also preserving jobs and contributing to the continued success of a leading contractor in the region.
