On March 21, 2025, Dickinson Bradshaw insurance coverage litigators Benjamin J. Kenkel and Sean O’Brien obtained a favorable decision for their client in Waterloo Community School District v. Employers Mutual Casualty Company, affirming the district court’s summary judgment.
The Iowa Supreme court agreed with Mr. Kenkel and Mr. O’Brien that their client’s coverage obligations arising from an elementary school building’s partial roof collapse should be limited to actual damage caused by a heavy snowstorm and not extend to repair load-bearing walls throughout the building that had deteriorated prior to the roof collapse.
