After the recent building collapse in Florida now there are audits underway of other older buildings around the area. Some have already been forced to close and families told that they can no longer stay where they are living.
It's anticipated that the more buildings are looked at the more the list might grow of those which are deemed unsafe and that could mean more evacuations will be coming.
Rules on inspection times for buildings could also change now under pressure from the recent event that saw several people go missing and lose their lives.
A number of buildings have already been flagged in the Miami-Dade area and municipalities will be boosting their building inspections after the recent condo collapse.
It goes without saying that condos in that area aren't going to be appealing to many now because of this recent event.
Already there have been multiple lawsuits that have been filed since that building collapse. It's reported that there is allegedly $48 million in insurance coverage available but it's argued that this might not be enough to cover the damages and injuries that have been suffered. Those lawsuits have been pointing the finger at the condo association, which has been named in each lawsuit, saying they were allegedly responsible for the collapsed building's maintenance.
There is also a class action lawsuit that has been filed against the Champlain Towers South condominium association too. They are allegedly seeking an unspecified amount of monetary damages and a jury trial over the matter too.
