Payne & Fears Recovers 100% of Costs in High-Exposure Construction Defect Lawsuit

Irvine office partner Scott S. Thomas, and associate Sarah J. Odia of the Las Vegas office, recovered more than $2 million dollars from a group of additional-insured carriers for a major home builder in reimbursement of costs incurred to defend a high-exposure construction defect lawsuit, plus 100% of Payne & Fears LLP’s costs incurred pursuing the litigation. By utilizing their connections within the insurance industry, and by employing creative legal strategies – including early case evaluation and mediation – Payne & Fears LLP was able to recover the entire amount uncommonly early in the litigation.
