Condominium Unit Plumbing Leak

$59,872 Recovery for Condominium Plumbing Leak

The Problem

Our client had lived in her condominium unit for many years and had dealt with repeated issues from her HOA’s failure to properly maintain the property. Matters came to a head when unauthorized renovations in the upstairs unit caused a plumbing leak that damaged her home, ruining floors, walls, and personal property.

The HOA failed to take appropriate action, leaving our client to face significant repair costs on her own.

Our Approach

Jimenez Legal was immediately retained to protect the homeowner’s rights. Our attorneys:

• Filed claims against three separate parties — the property insurer, the upstairs unit owner, and the HOA
• Collected evidence of the unauthorized renovations and the resulting damage
• Aggressively litigated on multiple fronts, ensuring no responsible party could escape accountability
• Negotiated with insurers and opposing counsel to maximize our client’s recovery

The Result

After months of litigation, we secured a $59,872.10 settlement that covered repairs, restoration, and additional compensation — allowing our client to return her beloved home to pre-loss condition, and more.

Key Takeaway

Condo owners are not powerless when faced with HOA neglect or damage caused by neighboring units. With experienced legal representation, they can hold all responsible parties accountable and recover the funds needed for full restoration.
