Phoenix Building
Collapse Attorney

Whether the building is our home, place of work, where we purchase necessities, or where we go for social activities, we expect it to be safe and remain standing. This expectation is entirely reasonable and supported by a building, construction, and inspection codes. Even so, building collapses can occur, and when they do, they bring damaging and possibly deadly consequences. 

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a building collapse, seek legal representation as soon as possible. A building collapse attorney in Phoenix will fight to hold responsible parties accountable and get you the financial compensation you need.

Compensation You Can Pursue Following a Building Collapse

The damages and settlement amount you pursue after a building collapse depends on several factors, including the extent and severity of your injuries, the physical, medical, emotional, and financial consequences of those injuries, the amount of property loss or damage you experienced, and how your injuries affect your overall quality of life.

If your loved one was killed in a building collapse, you may be entitled to a wrongful death settlement. Wrongful death compensation can cover death and funeral expenses, recover your loved one’s lost potential income, and acknowledge the loss of relationship and consortium you and other family members have sustained and will continue to suffer.

Proving Negligence for a Building Collapse

To collect a settlement from the party or parties responsible for your injuries, you must prove those parties’ negligence. There are four elements to proving negligence. You must prove: 

• The responsible party or parties owed you a duty of care. In the case of building collapse, you would have to prove it was reasonable for you to expect the building was safe, and that the building proprietors, managers, or others responsible for the building’s safety, who allowed or invited you onto the premises, owed you a safe experience.
• Those responsible for the building breached their duty of care. Their actions or lack of action and oversight led to the building’s collapse.
• The building collapse caused your injuries, property damage, or other losses.
• The injuries and other consequences cost you quantifiable damages.
