After a year and a half of litigation and two failed mediations, we secured a favorable settlement for our client shortly after moving for partial summary judgment. Notably, we also obtained a sanctions order for discovery violations which required Magnum to pay all fees associated with plaintiff’s engineering expert, “both previously incurred and going forward”–a sanction that ended up totaling more than $40,000.

The case is Simpson v. Magnum Piering, Inc., No. 4:17-cv-731-NKL (W.D. Mo.) Some of the primary filings are available below.
