Description
Approximately six-hundred San Antonio residents claim to have been injured as a result of exposure to lead contaminated soils excavated from the site of a former iron foundry during construction of the Alamodome Sports Complex. In three separate lawsuits, which were later consolidated for discovery purposes, the residents named numerous defendants, including the City of San Antonio, VIA Metropolitan Transit ("VIA")(developer of the Alamodome project), and Alamo Iron Works (prior owner of the iron foundry). The defendants filed traditional and "no evidence" motions for summary judgment claiming, among other things, there was no causation evidence demonstrating the injuries claimed by the plaintiffs were caused by the Alamodome excavation activities. After striking the testimony of the plaintiffs' causation experts, the trial court granted summary judgment to all defendants on "no evidence" grounds and to VIA on sovereign immunity grounds.
