Grandison, Russell, and Dolby Secure Defense Verdict on Damages in High-Stakes Construction Litigation

Sasha Grandison (Of Counsel-Baltimore), Angela Russell (Partner-Baltimore), and Maya Dolby (Associate-Baltimore) obtained a favorable defense verdict on damages for a ready-mix concrete supplier client following a three-week trial in Baltimore City Circuit Court, Maryland. The plaintiff in this construction litigation, a developer and contractor, alleged that our client caused damage to the garage of a historic building undergoing renovations, seeking $2,300,000 in damages for demolition and reconstruction of the garage, financing costs, interest, lost rental income, and budget variance damages. Liability in the matter was conceded. The jury deliberated for 20 minutes before rendering a verdict of $275,500, a figure far below the last offer made to the plaintiff and a fraction of the plaintiff’s last demand. The client was extremely pleased with the outcome. The Baltimore team is grateful to paralegal Amanda Simpson and secretary Autumn Skinner for their exceptional, supportive efforts before and during the trial.
