Third-party liability

Third-party damage claim after refusal to cooperate

A liable party ignored repeated requests while damage and costs continued to increase.

Situation

The client had clear damage, but the other party delayed and disputed responsibility without substantiation.

Strategy

We built a concise evidence bundle, connected each cost item to the event and set enforceable deadlines.

Outcome

The matter moved from silence to settlement once procedural pressure became concrete.

Legal core

The key issue was causation: the claim had to show exactly how the event caused each cost item and why delay by the other party was no answer.

Matter approach

Evidence bundle

Photos, reports, invoices and messages were reduced to a clear chronology.

Formal notice

The other party received a focused demand with deadlines and a litigation route.

Escalation file

Attachment and proceedings were prepared so negotiation had credible pressure.

What this case shows

Silence should be documented, not tolerated.

Causation must be shown per damage item.

Attachment preparation can change negotiation dynamics.
