Common Causes of Building Collapses in Austin

A building collapse points to extremely serious structural issues that should have been detected and remedied long before the collapse occurred. In most cases, an unexpected building collapse means that someone involved in the construction or design of the building is at fault. 

Common causes of building collapses in Austin include:

  • Negligent or illegal construction practices
  • Failing to follow building codes
  • The use of defective building materials
  • Low-quality craftsmanship 
  • Architectural or engineering design defects
  • Poor building maintenance by the owner
  • Inadequate or skipped inspections
  • Exceeding the load capacity of the structure
  • Material failure due to corrosion
  • Natural disasters (and the failure to adequately protect against them)

Identifying the cause of a building collapse is the first step toward filing an injury claim. In Texas, an insurance claim or personal injury suit can be brought against the person or party at fault for causing an injury. An experienced attorney can investigate your incident to determine the cause of the structural collapse and who is responsible.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Building Collapse in Austin?

A building collapse can cause injuries such as broken bones, skull and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, internal injuries, crush injuries, and amputations. These catastrophes often inflict immense emotional damage, as well.

Depending on the circumstances, the following parties may be held liable, or financially responsible, for a victim’s losses after a building collapse in Austin:

  • The construction company or an individual contractor
  • An architect or engineer
  • The land or building owner
  • A landlord or building controller
  • An inspector or inspection company
  • A material manufacturer

A number of parties could be held responsible for a structural collapse in Austin for issues related to the building’s design, construction, maintenance, and upkeep. An Austin construction accident attorney at FVF Law Firm can investigate the circumstances leading up to the collapse in your case to identify the at-fault party or parties.
