pile driving vibrations and settlement 3

[Chopdog]

I have a potential client claiming that pile driving operations for a bridge construction project adjacent to his house (piles driven < 50' from house) have caused structural damage to an addition of the house. I reviewed the house last night and the damage is definitely caused from differential settlements. First, I am searching for more current information on the subject than I currently have. Any advice? Second, I am hesitant, at this point, to accept the work because if the results of my investigation and analysis indicate that the addition to the house was not properly founded in the first place, and not the result of the pile driving operations, who pays me? Any more advice?

We shouldn't be slamming lawyers here.

There should be a whole website and a cable TV channel for that.
