A claim was made against an electrical engineer for providing faulty electrical drawings for a new medical campus. The electrical engineering firm hired another engineer, with whom they had a previous relationship, to prepare a portion of the design. Although the electrical drawings at issue were the subconsultant’s design, it was the electrical engineer’s responsibility to ensure accuracy of the electrical design. There is a joint demand of $850,000 to the insured and sub-consultant.
