Property Subrogation

At NLdH, we take pride in the fact that our clients speak highly of our ability to conduct prompt and thorough investigations, and to provide immediate legal assistance from the outset of a loss.

Our efforts ensure that our clients are offered guidance when they need it, guidance that allows them to effectively handle recovery investigations, legal oversight of their site inspections and evidence retention. Every effort we make is designed to maximize the success and efficiency of our clients' recovery actions in property subrogation cases.

Attorneys from our law firm have been called upon by clients to investigate and handle multi-million dollar losses in locations throughout the country. Clients turn to us because of our aggressive approach and our background in the insurance industry. These two factors have helped us achieve some of the largest subrogation recoveries in the history of the industry.

Our law firm is able to address property subrogation issues of all types, including these recent examples:

  • $5,800,000 catastrophic business park fire
  • Marina fire
  • $6,000,000 prefabricated metal warehouse collapse
