On August 27, 2020, Hurricane Laura struck the area. After the storm, a pipe in the sprinkler system broke, allegedly due to faulty materials and workmanship by a subcontractor, S&amp;S Sprinkler. Planet Construction sought coverage under its policy with Gemini as well as under S&amp;S&#8217;s policy with Zurich. Both insurers denied coverage and Planet Construction filed suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Gemini moved to dismiss. The Court noted coverage would only be triggered if the building owner held Planet Construction liable for the sprinkler failure, but no suit was ever filed. Even though Planet Construction&#8217;s remediation and repair efforts likely averted a breach of contract claim by the building owner, the court could not expand coverage under the policy to cover proactive measures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 Accordingly, Gemini&#8217;s motion was granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When one of your cases is in need of a construction expert, estimates, insurance appraisal or umpire services in defect or insurance disputes &#8211; please call Advise &amp; Consult, Inc. at 888.684.8305, or email <a href=\"mailto:experts@adviseandconsult.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experts@adviseandconsult.net<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tred R.
