Learn What You need to do to Successfully Prove Your Balcony Fall Case

One person was hospitalized after a porch attached to the New Beginning Beauty Salon in North Myrtle Beach collapsed on Wednesday. The porch stood five feet above the ground before it collapsed. City inspectors are examining the porch to determine why it collapsed and to ensure that it received proper repairs. What they find could determine how much financial compensation the injured victim can receive.

When You’re Injured, You Must Prove the Cause(s) of your Injury to Win the Financial Compensation you Deserve

When you receive serious injury because a porch, deck, or balcony collapses beneath you or onto you from above, your Houston lawyer for balcony falls could help you win a full financial recovery to pay for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses from the fall. But in a civil claim for compensation, the burden of proof falls on you. You need to prove:

  • The defendant’s duty of care. Those responsible for the deck have a duty to construct it properly and to inspect and maintain it adequately for the safety of others.
  • A breach of that duty of care. Perhaps the structure was poorly constructed, inadequately inspected, or improperly maintained. These breaches of the duty of care constitute negligence.
  • You were injured by the structural collapse. You must have actual injuries to which a jury can attach monetary values.
  • The negligent breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of your injuries. In other words, the structural collapse actually caused the injuries for which you’re claiming compensation.

Proving the Cause(s) of a Porch or other Structural Collapse is Complex and Requires highly Technical Testimony
