Crown Castle Seeks Recovery of $23,200 for Cable Damaged in Excavation

Denco Construction damaged Crown Castle’s underground cable in July 2019 while excavating with mechanized equipment at a location in Cape Coral, Florida, alleged Crown Castle’s complaint Monday (docket 362024CC002279A001CH) in the 20th Judicial Circuit Court in Lee County, Florida. As a result of the defendant's actions, Crown Castle “sustained disturbance to its rights of use or servitude,” and damage to and loss of the cable, which has resulted in actual damages of slightly more than $23,200, said the complaint. Denco’s actions “constituted an intentional interference with Crown Castle’s disturbance of its rights without justification,” it said.
