Crown Castle Seeks Damages From Allegedly Negligent Excavator

Contractor Y&Y Underground Services caused nearly $6,200 in damage to Crown Castle’s telecom cable near an intersection in Miami while excavating with mechanized equipment in January 2019, alleged Crown Castle’s Jan. 20 complaint (docket 2023-001806-SP-26). Y&Y “acted negligently” by failing to excavate in “a careful and prudent manner based on accepted engineering and construction practices,” alleged the complaint, filed in the 11th Judicial Circuit Court in Miami-Dade County. Crown Castle seeks reimbursement for the loss of the use of its cable, plus pre- and post-judgment interest. Y&Y didn’t comment Wednesday.
