TechLoss Consulting & Restoration, Inc. was brought in to determine the cause of a loss involving controls for a large amusement/recreation facility. We reviewed the inspection and repair reports provided by the manufacturer of the equipment and the insured’s independent vendor and then performed our own on-site inspection. From this we determined multiple components had caused a fire or were damaged as the result of a fire, although the other parties had proposed faulty weatherproofing and lightning as potential causes of the loss. Based on our evaluation and our subsequent research, along with service records we were able to obtain, we determined the loss was the result of a manufacturer’s defect, which was supported by the fact that failures of the same nature had occurred multiple times prior to the loss. All equipment was replaced at no cost to the insured or the insurance company.
