Mr. Campbell successfully defended Cosmos Development Company and U.S. Bank in a breach of contract and lien foreclosure action arising out of Cosmos’s $5.7 million contract with plaintiff Washington State Utilities, Inc. After winning partial summary judgment prior to trial, Mr. Campbell and his clients prevailed in a four-week jury trial against one of Seattle’s most experienced construction litigators, obtaining a net judgment in Cosmos’s favor more than twice as large as the plaintiff’s principal claims, including an award of more than $500,000 in attorney fees, costs and interest. At trial, Mr. Campbell successfully argued an issue of apparent first impression in Washington regarding the damages attributable to a contractor’s failure to maintain contractually required insurance coverage.
