Dear Mr. Aguirre,
On August 20, 2007, we sent you a letter concerning an unresolved claim regarding a
water leak caused by Verizon when installing the FlOS system on Alex Dr., Coppell,
Texas, 75019. Despite some efforts, this issue is still not resolved, and we feel there is.
some misunderstanding. With this letter, we hope to update you on the situation so that
you can assist us further.
Initially, we understand you contacted Klaasmeyer Construction Inc. to brief them on the
iSSlle. Klassmeyerthen contactedtheiTinsuraIlre company, CNA, to settle the-issue.
Then, CNA sent us an acknowledgement of the new claim.
On September 17, 2007, we called CNA to clarify the loss description. We spoke with
Beth Stouffer. On that phone call, Beth stated that at the alleged time of the incident,
CNA was not insuring Klaasmeyer. She told us that Amerisure Insurance was handling
this report, and that we would receive a letter from them.
On September 24, 2007 we received a letter from Amerisure Insurance stating that thflY
were not insuring Klaasmeyer during the time of the incident either. '
We want to make it very clear that the incident DID NOT OCCUR in February 2007.
This is when the leak was DETECTED. The work done by Verizon in June of 2005 w:as
the onset of the problem. We have water bills to justify this.
We ask that you make a corrected claim (or new one) with the appropriate Loss Date of
June of2005. In our initial letter, we made it very clear that the leak had been undetected
for several months.
Mr. AguiIre - we are asking for your help because we cannot continue to- deal- with
insurance companies, construction companies, and other entities refusing to take
responsibility. We are enclosing all the correspondence necessary to assist you.
We understand that damage can occur during big projects, such as the installation of the
FIOS system, but this is, however, damage that must be corrected by the people who
causeatt. we Woufd very much appreciate your help in resolving tfiis matrer:
Regards,

Dear Mr. Cuencas:
A claim for damage to a water line that was discovered at your home in February 2007
has been reported to Amerisure Insurance Company under Klaasmeyer Construction
Company's general liability insurance policy. Amerisure insured Klaasmeyer until
August 1,2006, and therefore the loss at your home appears to fall outside Amerisure's
coverage period and is therefore declined.
Notwithstanding the absence of coverage for the claim, our investigation of the matter
failed to find that Klaasmeyer's activity caused damage to your water service. Please
give me a call if you wish to discuss our position with regard to this matter.

conversation I had with Ms. Cuencas. As there is no evidence which substantiates any
responsibility on the part of Klaasmeyer Construction Company for your damage, we
must respectfully deny your claim.
