Legal Aspects of a Landslide Case
This case history illustrates some of the legal issues encountered in a landslide case including conveying complex and technical causation information to a jury, the possibility for jury confusion, the liability associated with taking over a project from another geotechnical engineer, and the conflicts of interest when defending your own geotechnical design. This case history also discusses some of the ramifications of fill placement on natural slopes surrounded by urban development such as, the importance of stress distribution analyses for determining the depth of influence of surface activities and the potential for overstressing weak materials below the depth of the subsurface investigation.
