Philadelphia indemnity insurances $280k damage: Negligence Allegations Echo in Court
Philadelphia Indemnity is pointing fingers at Franjo and Irwin, accusing them of negligence in a complaint filed Wednesday. The insurer asserts that the contractors overlooked the critical installation of thermal insulation, a misstep that could have averted the significant water losses suffered by the Fox Chapel Golf Club. The complaint outlines the negligence claim, contending that the omission directly led to extensive damage to both real and business personal property, invoking a clause in the Pittsburgh club’s commercial property insurance policy.
