Ceiling Collapse

Check for injuries. Make sure that you and yours are safe from further harm. If you feel any pain whatsoever, receive medical attention. Hopefully, you weren’t injured in any way by the falling ceiling. However, many injuries can be internal, you may be in shock, and so forth. 

Collect evidence. Take pictures and videos. Focus on what will be removed and/or fixed. So, take pictures of the hole in the ceiling, any debris on the ground, and so forth. If there’s something physical that fell from the ceiling (sheetrock, concrete, etc.) save that. It could be very useful evidence. 

Once you’ve done all that, contact an experienced attorney. Here at Gratt & Associates, we’ve helped many who dealt with a collapsed ceiling to receive compensation for everything they’ve had to go through.

The injuries suffered during a ceiling collapse can be severe enough to necessitate medical care. We can help you to recover compensation to pay for any medical bills you may now be facing as a result of the injury. This can include physical therapy, medications, doctor’s visits, and much more. 

Unfortunately, after being hurt when the roof falls in on you, you may be unable to return to work or to return to work in your previous capacity. If so, we can help you to recover lost wages both now and in the future. 

These injuries can take a terrible toll on the rest of your life. You very well may be able to receive compensation for your pain, your suffering, if you’ve lost some of your enjoyment of life, and similar damages. 

When you sit with us for a free case evaluation, we’ll let you know what your claim is worth. Then, we’ll do everything in our power to help you.

There are many reasons to contact experienced attorneys after your ceiling collapses, not the least of which is that we can conduct an investigation to determine who is liable. More often than not, the property owner is liable. They had a duty to maintain the roof, they breached that duty, and you were injured as a result. 

However, it could be that a contractor could be liable for injuries or some other party. We can find the truth and then use it to bolster your case. 

We encourage those injured by a fallen ceiling to reach out sooner vs. later. Among the many reasons for this: In some places, the building owner is the city. If that’s the case, then you have much less time to file a case. 

After your ceiling collapses on you, causing an injury, it’s natural to feel somewhat helpless. It may seem as if there’s nothing you can do. However, we have helped many who are in the same position you are right now. We can take your case and guide you through the process, from the initial free case evaluation through a successful outcome. 

We work on contingency here. That means our clients only have to pay us if we win. Our track record of success speaks for itself. To schedule a free case evaluation to see how we can help you, message us through our site or call.
