First of Many Lawsuits Filed Over Minn. Bridge Collapse
November 17, 2008
The first of what is expected to be many lawsuits stemming from the collapse of a Minnesota freeway bridge was filed on Nov. 12.
The suits were brought by the Minneapolis firm of Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben on behalf of three people who were injured and the family of one person who was killed when the Interstate 35W bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River on Aug. 1, 2007. Wagner v. URS Corp., District Court of Hennepin County, Minn.
“This is a 40-year old bridge that gave out a lot of warnings before it fell into the Mississippi,” said James Schwebel, attorney for the plaintiffs. “There was bulging and bulking quite visible in photographs as early as 2003, but the engineering firm either did not see that or did not attach enough consequence. The contractor had 587 tons of equipment stored on the weakest point of the bridge when it collapsed.”
