Leeman v. Cook’s Pest Control, Inc.
When homeowners in this case tried to bring a case against a pest control company alleging it was responsible for damage to their property, the evidence demonstrated that arbitrating their claims before the American Arbitration Association would cost between $12,000 and $16,000. Despite these facts, the Alabama Supreme COurt held that the homeowners were forced to arbitrate their claims, and our appeal was not successful.
