Motion for Summary Judgment entered regarding time-barred claims
Posted on April 18, 2011
In Lucero v. Griego, pending in Adams County District Court, Judge Edward Moss found that the relation back doctrine was inapplicable and that the Plaintiff’s claims against our client and co-owner of a vehicle involved in an accident were time-barred.
Attorneys Suzanne Lambdin and Stephanie Montague obtained summary judgment in favor of Fire Insurance Exchange. The court determined as a matter of law that the damage caused by a methamphetamine lab was not covered under the vandalism peril in the insured’s renters policy. Additionally, the court determined that the Pollution Exclusion in the renters policy precluded coverage for the claimed damages caused by methamphetamine.
