Dispute Over Settlement Terms Leads to New Trial in 2019 Crane Collapse Case Against Greystar, Bigge

One week into an expected three-week trial, lawyers for real estate developer Greystar and crane rental company Bigge Crane & Rigging Co. told a Dallas County judge they had reached a settlement with plaintiffs who had been displaced from their apartment homes after a construction crane crashed onto the building during a 2019 storm. 

“The plaintiffs and their families are happy to put this behind them and move on with their lives after a very tragic event,” attorney Michael P. Lyons told The Texas Lawbook on Aug. 15, moments after the jury was excused.
