Description:
							A construction project contractor piled a shipment of roof trusses in a vacant lot.  The trusses were piled one on top of the other in rows.  An 11 year old girl and her little brother were playing among the trusses when a pile of trusses fell on her crushing her to death. Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben sued the general contractor, the subcontractor, and a government agency which was involved in the building project.  Liability and damages were disputed.  
Jim Schwebel and Jim Ballentine achieved a settlement of $900,000 for the girl's parents and siblings.
