Public Roadway Collapse Litigation

We obtained a favorable jury verdict for an internationally acclaimed engineering firm in a trial that lasted over six weeks in connection with the collapse of a public roadways supported by piers at a marine facility where the claims exceeded $10M. The County that owned the roadway targeted the engineering firm's alleged improper investigation of existing conditions as a significant cause of the collapse. We challenged that claim and demonstrated to the jury that others, including the County itself, were the parties that bore most of the responsibility for the roadway collapse.
