Brian G. Cunningham Accomplishments:
Erik Nielsen and Brian Cunningham obtain a multi-million
dollar recovery in a catastrophic
loss at a specialized manufacturing plant
Mr. Nielsen and Mr. Cunningham recently settled a multi-million dollar subrogation case at mediation involving
a failure and catastrophic explosion causing millions of dollars in property damage and resulting in a fatality. After extensive
pre-suit investigation and lengthy fact and expert discovery, the partners were able to negotiate a hard-fought, successful settlement from
multiple domestic and foreign defendants under theories of product liability, negligence and breach of contract. This result was also
particularly challenging given the numerous coverage issues presented by the defendants' carrier.
