An engineering firm that analyzed the Interstate 35W bridge before it collapsed is asking a judge to dismiss parts of four lawsuits from victims.
URS Corp. of San Francisco is accused of negligence and of breaching contracts with the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
URS says the victims don't have standing to sue for breach of contract, and only the negligence claim should proceed.
URS says it is not responsible for the Aug. 1, 2007, bridge collapse that killed 13 and injured 145.
The paperwork filed in Hennepin County District Court addresses lawsuits filed on behalf of four bridge victims _ three who suffered injuries and the family of a truck driver who was killed.
