About half an hour before the almost-completed pedestrian bridge collapsed onto a busy Miami-area road last year, killing six people, Denney Pate, the bridge’s engineer-of-record, sent a text to Linda Figg, the chief executive of FIGG Bridge Engineers.

Attorneys for families of the six people who were killed and for survivors of 2018’s Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse say  Louis Berger Group is the last defendant that has not yet agreed to settle lawsuits in state court in Miami.
