Greg Ziegler represented a structural engineer sued in Rockwall County for alleged insufficient foundation design. After four days of jury trial, including the successful cross examination of Plaintiffs’ structural engineering experts, Plaintiffs agreed to a cost-of-defense settlement. The claims against the co-defendant construction contractor went to the jury, which returned a verdict for $22 million against the contractor.
The jury found that Macdonald Devin’s structural engineering client was not responsible.
