RS
Metro North — plaintiff's expert report came in yesterday. The biomechanical expert is opining on the scaffold collapse. We need to calendar our rebuttal deadline and discuss whether to retain a competing structural engineer. Can you confirm your client's position on settlement before I proceed?
Mar 29 · 4:18 PM
MN
Received. We've reviewed the report internally — the biomechanical conclusions are aggressive. Our position remains defense through trial unless you're seeing something different. What's your read on the expert?
Mar 30 · 9:22 AM
RS
Our structural engineer has reviewed preliminarily — we believe we can effectively rebut on the scaffold configuration argument. I'd recommend we proceed toward trial. I'll have a full response memo to you by end of week.
Mar 30 · 2:45 PM
MN
Agreed. Please proceed. Memo by Friday works. Also please confirm billing codes on the expert coordination time — our claims team needs it for the reserve file.
