Kate Crouch Secures Dismissal with Prejudice of Suit Filed Against Contractor Client

Kate Crouch secured the dismissal with prejudice of a lawsuit filed against our client, a contractor who provided hot water systems to a residential co-op on Chicago’s south side. Plaintiff sought compensatory and punitive damages, alleging that the hot water systems provided, were designed in a faulty manner, failed to operate properly, and were maintained inadequately by our client.  Plaintiff indicated that only a seven-figure settlement would be considered. Through aggressive discovery depositions and an extensive analysis of the documents related to this project, we showed Plaintiff’s counsel that her case lacked merit.  Our lone concession in allowing dismissal was that each side would bear its own costs.
