Contractor R&Y Underground negligently caused more than $71,000 in “actual damages” to a Crown Castle cable when excavating with “mechanized equipment” at an intersection in Miramar, Florida, alleged Crown Castle in a Nov. 29 complaint (docket CACE-22-017496) in the 17th Judicial Circuit Court in Broward County. R&Y failed to excavate “in a careful and prudent manner based on accepted engineering and construction practices,” said the complaint.
