CASE STUDY | CONSTRUCTION & ADA LITIGATION
Successful defense in alleged ADA violations
The attorneys at Nida & Romyn, P.C. recently completed a jury trial in the United States District Court in Los Angeles, which involved an allegation that a major contractor should reimburse a public entity for allegations that the project was built incorrectly by the contractor in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The case involved the Van Nuys Flyaway facility owned by the Los Angeles World Airports, a division of the City of Los Angeles.
The attorneys of Nida & Romyn, P.C. were able to demonstrate through affirmative witnesses of the contractor and cross-examination of the City’s witnesses that the project was in fact built correctly by the contractor, the project caused no injury, and the city’s alteration of the decade old project absolved the contractor of liability. The case had a long history of complex motion practice, an appeal, discovery and trial preparation. The case went through several days of testimony and argument before a jury in Federal Court. After deliberation, the jury ruled unanimously in favor of the contractor.
Following the trial, the contractor prevailed in further motion practice by the City seeking to overturn the jury verdict. The contractor was also awarded nearly all of its attorney fees and costs from the City.
