The Firm successfully represented a general contractor against the claim of an owner of property located next to a highway expansion project. The owner’s lawsuit alleged that the general contractor’s work on the project had caused a landslide onto its property.
The Firm was able to secure the general contractor’s immediate dismissal from the lawsuit by providing the owner with pre- and post-construction geotechnical studies showing that the landslide was caused by a leak in the storm drain located on an adjoining property.
