Despite limited insurance coverage, Manuel & Thompson attorneys were able to prove that the landlord had negligently maintained the home for years despite knowledge of wiring issues. In addition, our investigation revealed that the wiring and electrical contractor might have been negligent in the installation of the electrical system of the home.
