Congratulations to Senior Trial Counsel, Brian Franklin and Nicola Duffy on recently settling a multi-million-dollar federal court subrogation matter involving a massive fire at a girl’s camp in upstate New York. 👏👏

The fire broke out in the Camp’s commercial kitchen as cook staff left a large quantity of meat unattended on a char broiler, open flame.

The fire suppression system installed in the cooking hood allegedly failed to operate, and the fire spread to the roof, eventually causing the complete destruction of the commercial structure.

gartner + bloom, P.C. representing the installer of the fire suppression system, demonstrated through its team of experts that the fire’s spread was not the result of an inoperable suppression system, but rather defects in the commercial structure and the original installation of the hood.

The team further found evidence that the suppression system had been tampered with.

The matter was successfully resolved, for a fraction of the original demand, saving the client from a large potential exposure.

Cheers to Brian Franklin & Nicola Duffy on delivering a phenomenal outcome for our client🥂💜🥂
