Successfully Helped a Construction Company and its Employee Avoid the Risk of Paying Punitive Damages in a Wrongful Death Case

Amundsen Davis successfully helped a construction company and its employee avoid the risk of paying punitive damages in a wrongful death case by winning on motions to dismiss the plaintiff’s willful and wanton claims, which was alleged by the plaintiff in the complaint and the subsequent amended complaints. As a result, the clients only needed to defend the plaintiff’s regular negligence claims, which were eventually settled upon reasonable terms without considering any potential punitive damages the plaintiff may obtain through litigation.
