In a dramatic turn of events, Quintairos, Prieto, Wood, & Boyer (QPWB) led by Fort Lauderdale-based Managing Partner, David M. Tarlow and his seasoned team, secured a triumphant defense verdict for a luxury condominium community nestled on the pristine beaches of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This landmark decision came after the plaintiff sought a staggering $10 million in damages, alleging severe injuries from an electrical explosion on the condominium community's premises.

A High Voltage Case

• The plaintiff claimed to have been "electrocuted" during a spontaneous arc flash inside the electrical room of the condominium.
• An arc flash is a formidable electrical explosion that can produce temperatures soaring up to 20,000 ?C.
• The plaintiff who was onsite to download data from an energy optimization system, alleged that the explosion was the result of non-maintained electrical equipment, a claim supported by a master electrician's testimony.

The QPWB Difference Lights Up What Was Important to The Jury

• Tarlow and Team QPWB parachuted in, merely a week before the trial.
• Tarlow and Team QPWB adopted an aggressive, out-of-the-box approach.
• The core of the defense strategy revolved around the idea that even in the face of a tragic event, it should not automatically imply that the condominium community is to blame.
• Through meticulous examination of the plaintiff's pre and post-incident medical records, Tarlow and Team QPWB demonstrated inconsistencies, painting a picture of a plaintiff who was potentially manipulating the system for personal financial gain.
• Tarlow and Team QPWB employed the "reptile theory" to turn the plaintiff's expert into an inadvertent defense ally, leading him to admit that the installation of the energy optimization system was done in violation of safety protocols.
• Tarlow and Team QPWB also emphasized the manager's high standards in consistently hiring third-party companies for maintenance and argued that knowledge of maintaining static electrical equipment was beyond the purview of a typical property manager's duties.

The QPWB Difference Leads to Lightening Fast Jury Verdict

• After a mere five hours of deliberation, the jury returned a complete defense verdict, vindicating the condominium community.
