Kansas City Legal Advocacy For Structure Collapse Injuries
Structure collapses can cause serious injuries and even death for workers and people in the area. Individuals involved in a structure collapse can receive compensation for pain and suffering from those who were negligent. In Missouri, investigators need to be able to find out if the accident was preventable. It is negligence if the structure was designed improperly or the company cut corners in construction. The right lawyers can find investigators who can handle the matter quickly and hold the companies responsible for damages.
Your rights are very similar in Kansas. Compensation for pain and suffering as well as for past and future lost wages may also be awarded to injured individuals. Preventable collapses must be investigated, and the companies responsible should properly compensate injured individuals. Our law firm, Kelly Law Office, P.C., has over 100 years of combined experience dealing with these types of injuries.
How Structure Collapses Can Occur
A structure collapse injury can occur when someone gets hurt when a sustained structure fails to support them. Some examples of a structure collapse can include:
- The top working platform on a construction site erodes due to rust, causing the workers on it to fall off.
- A ceiling collapses on a contractor due to unaddressed water damage and structural issues.
- A natural disaster damages the structural integrity of a building or worksite, causing it to collapse.
These are just a few examples of how a structure collapse can occur. If you believe you are the victim of a structural collapse injury and need compensation, call us today at 816-963-0861 .
The Injuries You Can Suffer From A Structure Collapse
They can range from moderate, short-term injuries to serious, long-term injuries. A few examples include:
- Broken limbs
- Bone fractures
- Traumatic brain injury
- Paralysis
- Head and neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic amputation
- Severe burns
Depending on the circumstances, a structure collapse could also result in long-term illness, particularly if toxic or harmful chemicals were present during the collapse.
