County attorney briefs panel on litigation workload, sovereign-immunity cap and outside counsel use
Rob Bridal, chief assistant county attorney for litigation, told the committee the office handles roughly 700–800 open matters, cited the county's sovereign-immunity cap ($200,000 per person, $300,000 per occurrence), said outside counsel is used mainly for eminent domain and that risk-management can provide payout figures on request.
