What are the Legal Issues You Face after a Deck Collapse in the U.S.?
After a deck collapses and people are injured or killed, government and private accident investigators go to work to determine why the deck collapsed and who is liable for the injuries. The government investigators may build a criminal case or gather data to further better building codes, inspections, and enforcement.
The private investigators will make in-depth inquiries to determine who is at fault, what proportion of the fault they bear, and who must pay for the harm that resulted from the collapse. Injured victims and the family members of victims killed in the collapse must prove the element of fault against the liable parties in order to obtain financial compensation for their accident losses.
The victims and their families may be in sore need of that compensation after the deck collapse has left them unable to work or without the family breadwinner. Victims might be disabled and have enormous medical bills that they could never hope to pay without fair injury compensation. Victims might even be without health, medical, or long term disability insurance.
The property owner will usually be the one that victims look to for their compensation after a defect results in a dangerous deck collapse and injury. The property owner in turn could look to builders, architects, engineers, and building materials manufacturers to bear some or all of the financial responsibility for the deck collapse.
Proving fault and who bears what share of the blame in a deck collapse can be a lengthy and complex process. Qualified expert witnesses are often essential to help prove the liability of materials suppliers, builders, architects, engineers, and even negligent inspectors.
