What Injured Workers
Need to Know

Construction Injuries

BUILDING COLLAPSE

Foundation failure and faulty construction can cause buildings to collapse.

When buildings or structures collapse, construction workers can be seriously injured or killed as debris and other materials fall around them. When buildings are constructed properly and in accordance with building codes, the risk of a building collapse is minimized. In addition, architects and building designers have an obligation to ensure that buildings are safe for the public. However, buildings can collapse for a number of reasons, including bad design, foundation failure, faulty construction, poor construction materials, and excessive loads. When construction workers are restoring buildings that have fallen into disrepair, the risk of a building collapse accident increases. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, a construction firm, building owner or tool manufacturer may be held liable for injuries incurred during a building collapse.

If you or a loved one was injured or killed as the result of a building collapse, the construction accident lawyers at Block O'Toole & Murphy are ready to protect your rights. Fill out a case evaluation form for free legal advice today.
