Construction Design Defect/ Improper Construction Methods

Summary judgment was obtained on behalf of our client, a demolition contractor, resulting in the dismissal of the plaintiff’s claims that its Brooklyn brownstone building sustained structural damage as a result of the demolition of a building that was attached to it. It was established that any structural damage complained of resulted from the failures of co-defendants to properly protect, shore and/or underpin the plaintiff’s structure in relation to the completion of deep excavation adjacent to it.
