About half an hour before the almost-completed pedestrian bridge collapsed onto a busy Miami-area road last year, killing six people, Denney Pate, the bridge’s engineer-of-record, sent a text to Linda Figg, the chief executive of FIGG Bridge Engineers.

Attorneys for families of the six people who were killed and for survivors of 2018’s Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse say  Louis Berger Group is the last defendant that has not yet agreed to settle lawsuits in state court in Miami. 

On the surface, it seemed like an outrageous defensive move following a painful tragedy. Louis Berger Group has refused requests from the Dept. of Labor to hand over emails with FIGG Bridge Engineers about its peer review of the ill-fated Florida International University pedestrian bridge.

Design firm deal is set to close in Q4; new role for Louis Berger CEO James Stamatis remains unclear.
