A SERIOUS LESSON FOR BOARD MEMBERS Kimberly Jenkins, vs. Grand Haven Master Homeowners Association, Inc. |
An
Opinion By Jan Bergemann Published April 30, 2022
This should really be a warning for all board members: Final judgment is entered in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $ 765,735.57, with attorney's fees still be determined by the court.
This is the reason for the lawsuit
that ended in a
FINAL RULING
in favor of the plaintiff:
Just read the INITIAL LAWSUIT regarding “NEGLIGENCE OF THE DEFENDANT”.
If you ever attended one of Eric Glazer’s board certification seminars you will have heard him talking about just this issue: Failure to repair dangerous problems after being made aware of this existing danger. It actually can even lead to lawsuits against the board members personally.
Don’t you think maintaining or repairing dangerous places in the community is a lot less expensive than facing a lawsuit with the outcome we are seeing in this case? And it’s normally less expensive to take care of a problem as soon as it occurs instead of waiting for it to get bigger and bigger? |
