Woodall and Benjamin L. Riddle obtained a verdict on behalf of our client, a former subcontractor on a renovation project at the Veterans Administration facilities located in Lexington, Kentucky. Our client had been named as a defendant in a breach of contract case filed by a general contractor who claimed that our client's breach of the subcontract caused it over a half-million dollars in damages. Not only did our client prevail on the general contractor's claims, the jury determined that our client was wrongfully terminated from the project. The jury then entered a verdict in favor of our client to compensate it for the damages it suffered due to the general contractor's wrongful termination and the general contractor took nothing.
