What Causes Apartment Collapses?

Officials often mention “unexpected structural failures” or “unforeseen engineering flaws” as causes of collapses. But let’s be clear: most collapses aren’t a mystery. They stem from neglect.

Faulty Construction

Sometimes, the collapse can be traced back decades to faulty construction or quietly buried building code violations. Other times, a recent renovation might have compromised the structural integrity. The construction company or contractor might be to blame

Failure to Inspect and Maintain

Property owners or insurers rarely tell you how many warnings of hazards were ignored, inspections missed, or reports downplayed. Failing to properly inspect and maintain a building’s structural integrity can lead to collapses

Trust Our Team

If you or your family were affected by a collapse, our firm will hold negligent players accountable – with legal pressure and relentless investigation. Nothing gets swept under the rug when Goldberg & Rosen lawyers are on the case. Our Miami attorneys know how to dig, question, subpoena, and expose. In these cases, the truth is rarely given freely, but we have investigative resources and networks at our disposal.

From the first meeting of Brett Rosen (Goldberg & Rosen) I was impressed. Brett was respectful, kind and extremely knowledgeable. The second time we met he actually came to my father's house and talked with us about my father's case. I never imagined that he would actually come to the house. This action and the meeting that followed assured my father and I that Goldberg & Rosen was the right firm to handle our case. Our case did not make it into court for another 3+ years and like clockwork Brett or the lead attorney he appointed to our case would check it with us every few months.
