Jonathan Head and Ethan Wilkinson Prevail in a Breach of Contract Trial Against Oklahoma-based General Contractor

U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma awards almost $800,000 plus interest and attorneys’ fees

Construction and Breach of Contract

almost $800,000 plus interest and attorneys’ fees

This case arose from a 2022 breach of contract suit filed by WWHGD's client, Legend Directional Services.

During construction of a gas pipeline project in which Legend Directional Services was a subcontractor of Horizon Pipeline and Construction, LLC, Legend bored holes under two rivers in Oklahoma. The general contractor, Horizon Pipeline and Construction, LLC,  refused to pay over $600,000 in invoiced amounts and rejected a change order totaling nearly $200,000.

Despite the Court having ruled in our client’s favor on roughly 40% of the claim before trial, the defendant refused to offer a significant sum to settle the case.

WWHGD’s trial team, led by Jonathan Head and second chair Ethan Wilkinson, prevailed in a four-day trial, where the jury ultimately awarded all the monies claimed plus interest and attorneys’ fees.
