Matthew I. Ferrie Associate

Matthew Ferrie is an associate in the Subrogation Department and practices exclusively in the field of insurance subrogation. He litigates complex commercial and residential property losses involving fire, structural collapses, water, mold, transit and maritime claims.  Matt is licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey but practices throughout a twenty-five state territory using the services of local counsel under a special program of the Subrogation Department.

Matt participated in researching and drafting the Appellate briefs in one of the few cases nationwide where a court analzed the applicability of an AIA Waiver of Subrogation Provision in a post-construction loss.  The highest court in Maryland held that the Waiver of Subrogation Provision in an AIA contract was ambiguous and did not preclude subrogation.  See John L. Mattingly Construction Inc. v Hartford Underwriter's Insurance Company, 415 Md. 313, 999 A.2d 1066 (2010)
