Hi, I live in a condominium, and about a year ago, a new washing machine that I had broke down and flooded my apartment and several adjacent areas. I contacted my insurance company, and they successfully subrogated my claim to the washing machine's manufacturer.
However, my insurance company never paid out the costs of cleaning the adjacent areas, so this was not included in the subrogation.
I contacted the manufacturer for reimbursement of my expenses not covered by my insurance, and I received a check from them for the amount I sent in.
My question is this: The Homeowners Association for my building was affected, and is going to submit a bill to the manufacturer for cleaning of it's area. If I cash the check the manufacturer sent me for my expenses, do I assume responsibility for the cost of the HOA (or other area's) cleaning, as the manufacturer may say this claim was "settled" with me?
