A family won its case in Dallas County court against Trinity Infrastructure and related companies for damage they say was caused to their house by construction of the LBJ Express project.
They are one of 223 homeowners suing the contractors for the same reason. Steve Davis is another.
“I want to point out how the wall is separating from the tile,” he said, as he we stepped through the front door of his Farmers Branch home. From there, it only gets worse.
“There’s the nails popping through right here,” Davis said, as he traced a line across his living room ceiling. It’s a quarter mile away from the expressway.
Every room boasts its own damage and disappointment.
“We’re just a simple, middle class family…modest income, and when you buy something like this and it’s damaged, you feel helpless,” he said.
All 223 homeowners live near 635, and say the damage started after construction to build the LBJ Express lanes started in 2011. They believe moving a huge amount of earth with heavy trucks left their homes crumbling.
