- Secured summary judgment in favor of the insurance carrier on the issue of what qualifies as property damage and subsurface material in a cast iron pipe case.
- Secured summary judgment in favor of the insurance carrier where a plaintiff, through a valid assignment of benefits agreement, contracted to complete a roof repair but had no standing to pursue the lawsuit as the assignor had subsequently sold the real property, no actual work had been conducted, and the insurance carrier had no opportunity to investigate the claim prior to the conveyance of title.
- Secured summary judgment in favor of the insurance carrier where plaintiffs’ expert engineer testified that it relied entirely upon having found wind damage to more than twenty-five percent of the roofing system. Lance argued that considering the revised building code and correlating statute, where a structure is built in compliance with the 2009 (or newer) building code, the twenty-five percent rule was inapplicable and could not be the sole basis to mandate a full roof replacement.
