Walter v. Precision Tube Technology
N/AOUTCOME: Final Judgment for Plaintiff 1.52 Million dollars
Engineering Malpractice case where independent contractor performing a burst test of a tube injured an observer (Walter). Corporation, Precision Tube Technology, claimed they were not responsible for t ... he acts of an independent contractor. Precision held liable on apparent agency theory and the inherently dangerous activity exception to principal immunity for acts performed by independent contractor. I fought this case against a large defense firm that appointed 3 lawyers to represent the defendant. This was by far the most rewarding case I have ever worked on. Not because of the size of the judgment but because the result brought justice and a measure of security for Mr. Walter's family. *Past results are no guarantee of future results. Every case is different.
