Just last week our deck collapse injury attorneys wrote about a serious deck collapse at a college keg party in Wisconsin that injured several people. And in the early hours of Saturday, another deck collapsed during a college party at a home in Richmond, KY on Amberly Way.
Reportedly 30 to 40 people were on the deck at the time of the deck collapse in Kentucky. A college senior named Michael Phelps and at least two other people were hospitalized in the sudden collapse. Michael Phelps’ mother said her son had several serious injuries that included a fractured skull as well as fracturing of all the bones in his face, bleeding around the brain, and a serious knee injury. Doctors project a six-month recovery period, which might delay his intended college graduation.
When the 2nd story deck on the back of the home on Amberly Way collapsed, it sent the 30 to 40 people on it tumbling onto a concrete porch one floor below. Michael Phelps had the misfortune to land face-first on the concrete after his fall. His mother knows he is just lucky to be alive.
Our deck collapse injury attorneys caution that deck collapse injuries can be fatal, particularly to anyone underneath a 2nd story deck when it fails. Even non-fatal falls can leave victims with long recovery periods, permanent disabilities, and immense medical bills. The need for ongoing medical care might last a lifetime.
