Has your business been interrupted or destroyed?
In late May, an apartment building in Davenport, IA partially collapsed. There were three fatalities and multiple injuries. A civil fine was imposed on the owner. Now, in what may be an effort to get out in front of other claims, the building owner has filed suit blaming an engineering company for the collapse. The recent investigation report suggests there’s plenty of blame to apportion, as workers spent three days removing bricks from a load-bearing wall they mistakenly thought was simply veneer.
