Spire Delivers Impactful Expert Witness Testimony for Silicon Hills Campus
The Silicon Hills Campus is a large commercial development located in Austin, consisting of nine buildings. Unfortunately, the construction sustained heavy damages during the Winter Storm Uri. Due to freezing temperatures, internal water tanks froze and expanded, cracking the housing. When the winter storm passed, the water thawed and spilled throughout the buildings, leaving a substantial amount of water damage, requiring wall and floor replacement.
The insurance company offered an insufficient amount in recovery and remediation for the buildings. Spire was retained to provide expert witness support and testimony to help the client negotiate the appropriate damages for remediation. Spire’s team of experts conducted comprehensive site visits and reviews, evaluating the timing of events and identifying the appropriate cost for the remediation effort.
Through detailed evaluations and expert witness testimony, Spire helped the client increase their awarded damages value in excess of 500% of the original proposed amount.
By leveraging expertise, Spire ensured the client received substantial compensation needed to mitigate the damage and move forward with project completion.
