We represent people throughout the state.<\/p>\n<p>Our practice focuses on personal injury cases of any severity. These cases range from everyday accidents to catastrophic, life-altering injuries. Our practice includes <a href=\"\/resources\/short-term-rental-injury-liability\/\">short-term rental liability<\/a> claims.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Injuries we handle in collapse cases:<\/strong>\n\u2013 Spinal cord injuries and paralysis (<a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paraplegia\/\">paraplegia<\/a> and quadriplegia)\n\u2013 Traumatic brain injuries with lasting cognitive or physical effects\n\u2013 Amputations and limb loss from crush injuries\n\u2013 Severe fractures that may require long-term care and mobility assistance\n\u2013 Severe burns from electrical or fire hazards\n\u2013 Wrongful death when a collapse is fatal<\/p>\n<p><strong>People we may represent:<\/strong>\n\u2013 Guests injured in the collapse\n\u2013 Family members of those who were killed\n\u2013 Renters seeking a wrongful-death claim<\/p>\n<h2>Why the Property&#8217;s Legal Classification Matters<\/h2>\n<p>Florida law sorts lodging properties into categories. The category affects who may be identified as the operator.<\/p>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0500-0599\/0509\/Sections\/0509.242.html\">\u00a7 509.242<\/a>, a vacation rental is a unit in a condominium or cooperative. It can also be a single-family, two-family, three-family, or four-family house or dwelling unit. That unit must also be a transient public lodging establishment, and it cannot be a timeshare project.<\/p>\n<p>Florida&#8217;s licensing rules add another layer. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0500-0599\/0509\/Sections\/0509.241.html\">\u00a7 509.241<\/a>, each person who plans to open a public lodging establishment must apply for and receive a license from the Division before operating, but a condominium association that does not own any units classified as vacation rentals or timeshare projects is not required to apply for or receive a public lodging establishment license. License records can help identify who operates the property.<\/p>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0500-0599\/0509\/Sections\/0509.013.html\">\u00a7 509.013<\/a>, &#8220;transient occupancy&#8221; includes occupancy of a dwelling unit at a vacation rental. This applies unless a written rental or lease agreement expressly states that the unit is the guest&#8217;s sole residence. How a stay is classified can therefore be relevant to the facts of a claim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Classification alone does not establish liability.<\/strong> Whether a property owner, manager, platform, or builder is responsible depends on several things. These include what that party knew or should have known. They also include what it did or failed to do, and the facts of the collapse.<\/p>\n<h2>Structural Problems That May Contribute to a Collapse<\/h2>\n<p>Each property case depends on its specific facts, including how the property was maintained and what happened there. When a structure fails, the investigation often looks at whether that duty was met. Problems that may be involved include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wood rot and decay.<\/strong> Water can weaken wood. Whether an owner inspected, repaired, or replaced affected wood is a question of fact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corroded fasteners and connections.<\/strong> Bolts, screws, and metal connections may corrode over time. Maintenance history can be relevant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Construction or installation defects.<\/strong> Improper installation or code problems may create weaknesses. Guests may not be able to see them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Missing or weak guardrails.<\/strong> Railings that are missing, broken, or poorly installed may be relevant to liability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poor drainage and weather exposure.<\/strong> Blocked gutters or poor slope may speed deterioration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capacity limits.<\/strong> Whether capacity limits were posted, enforced, or reasonable for the structure is an important fact in each case.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deferred maintenance.<\/strong> An owner who ignores inspection reports or skips repairs may face questions about negligence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are possibilities, not conclusions. A structural engineer or other qualified reviewer would need to examine the actual collapse to identify its cause.<\/p>\n<h2>Who May Be Responsible for a Collapse<\/h2>\n<p>Identifying every party who may be responsible is an early step in any claim. More than one party may be involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The property owner.<\/strong> Responsibility depends on the facts. This includes what the owner knew or should have known about the structure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Property managers.<\/strong> A third-party manager may share responsibility. This may happen if it failed to inspect, maintain, or repair defects that were known or could have been found.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rental platforms.<\/strong> Airbnb, VRBO, and similar platforms may bear responsibility. It depends on their role in vetting properties and enforcing safety standards. We review the platform&#8217;s policies and any prior complaints about the property.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Builders and contractors.<\/strong> If the collapse came from construction defects or improper installation, the original builder or contractor may be responsible.<\/p>\n<p>If the owner knew or should have known the structure was deteriorating, and did not repair or replace it, the facts may support a claim.<\/p>\n<h2>How a Balcony Collapse Claim Generally Works<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing the process can reduce uncertainty. Here is what generally happens. Each case differs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Initial consultation and case review.<\/strong> You describe the collapse, your injuries, and the property. We review liability. That means whether the responsible party exercised reasonable care. We review damages, which are the documented losses from your injuries. We also review insurance coverage, meaning which policies may apply. The first consultation is confidential and carries no obligation to continue. CHG charges no attorney&#8217;s fees and no case costs unless there is a recovery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Investigation and evidence gathering.<\/strong> We may obtain police reports, medical records, property and license records, and maintenance logs. We may hire structural engineers to examine the collapsed structure. We may also interview witnesses and document the scene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Demand and negotiation.<\/strong> We may send a detailed demand to the responsible party&#8217;s insurance company. It may include engineering findings, medical records, and a description of your losses. The insurer then responds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Settlement discussions.<\/strong> Some cases resolve through negotiation. If an offer does not reflect your documented losses, we can explain our reasoning and discuss your options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5: Litigation, if necessary.<\/strong> If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we can file a lawsuit. Litigation includes discovery, which means exchanging evidence with the other side. It also includes depositions, which are recorded sworn statements. It can take considerable time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6: Trial or final settlement.<\/strong> If the case goes to trial, we present the evidence to a jury or judge. This may include engineering and medical witnesses. Otherwise, the parties may reach a final settlement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timeline.<\/strong> The length of a claim depends on the facts, the insurer, and court schedules. Your role includes providing medical records and attending appointments. We handle the legal work and negotiations.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sunlit-balconies-on-a-modern-apartment-building-in-the-balea-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Sunlit balconies on a modern apartment building in the Balearic Islands, Spain.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Have questions about what happened?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask our team directly.

We gather and organize what may be relevant to your claim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Structural evidence:<\/strong> Inspection reports and engineering analysis of the cause of failure are included. So are building code documents. Maintenance records, or the absence of them, matter too. Prior complaints or incident reports can show what the owner knew or should have known.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scene evidence:<\/strong> Photos and video of the collapsed structure and surrounding area are included. So are witness statements from guests or others present. Police reports and incident documentation are included too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Medical evidence:<\/strong> Medical records document your injuries and their documented effects. Imaging such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans is included. So are surgical and ongoing treatment records. Testimony from treating physicians and other medical providers may also be included.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ownership and licensing evidence:<\/strong> Property and ownership records are included. So are state license records, insurance policies and coverage limits, and rental platform listings and records.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Witness testimony:<\/strong> Engineers may explain the cause of a collapse. Building code witnesses may address applicable standards. Medical witnesses may explain your injuries. Economists may calculate lost earnings and future care needs.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence can shape how a claim is evaluated and negotiated. But the facts of each case control. Results are not promised.<\/p>\n<h2>Catastrophic Injuries From Falls Through Collapsed Structures<\/h2>\n<p>Falls from height can cause serious and lasting injuries. Outcomes vary from person to person. They depend on medical care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spinal cord injuries and <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paralysis\/\">paralysis<\/a>.<\/strong> Spinal cord damage may leave a person with paraplegia, which is lower-body paralysis. It may also cause quadriplegia, which is paralysis affecting all four limbs. Some people need ongoing care, mobility equipment, or home changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traumatic brain injuries.<\/strong> Head trauma may affect memory, concentration, mood, and motor control. Recovery differs from person to person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amputations and limb loss.<\/strong> Crush injuries or severe trauma may require amputation. Some people use prosthetics and therapy. Needs vary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Severe fractures and orthopedic injuries.<\/strong> Multiple fractures or crush injuries may require surgery and long-term care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Severe burns.<\/strong> If the collapse involves electrical or fire hazards, burns may require skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and long-term wound care.<\/p>\n<p>Your treating doctors can explain your own medical needs and prognosis. A prognosis is the likely course of your condition.<\/p>\n<h2>When a Collapse Is Fatal: Guidance for Families<\/h2>\n<p>A death is the most catastrophic outcome. Families facing it are often overwhelmed. Who may bring the claim, and what may be recovered, depend on Florida law and the facts of each case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steps families may consider now:<\/strong>\n\u2013 Keep the death certificate, medical and emergency records, and any autopsy or investigative reports you receive.\n\u2013 Preserve photographs, messages, and rental listings or booking records connected to the stay.\n\u2013 Write down what you have learned about the property&#8217;s condition, inspections, and any prior complaints.\n\u2013 Speak with an attorney about the time limits that may apply, as described below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Damages categories.<\/strong> Damages in these claims generally fall into categories. These include economic losses and the loss suffered by surviving family members. We explain how these categories may apply to your family&#8217;s situation. We do not estimate any value.<\/p>\n<p>Our office handles communications with insurers and courts.
