Building Collapse in Myrtle Beach

When most people envision a building collapse, they think about an entire building crumbling before their eyes, like the Florida condo collapse that made national headlines back in 2021. However, a building collapse in Myrtle Beach doesn’t always involve a full building collapse. Many of them are partial collapses, such as deck collapses and staircase collapses. Yet even a partial collapse can cause significant property damage, injury, pain, and suffering for accident victims.

Although they are relatively rare, building collapses occur even though many existing building and safety codes are in place, locally and nationally. Usually, the structural failures behind either a partial or complete building collapse are preventable, caused by negligence, error, or greed. Therefore, under South Carolina law, accident victims are eligible to seek compensation for damages and injuries.

If you or someone you love was injured in a building collapse, Morgan & Morgan can help.

  • Common Injuries from a Building Collapse in Myrtle Beach

    A building collapse in Myrtle Beach is usually partial and involves porch, deck, balcony, and staircase collapses, resulting in mild to severe injuries. In these sorts of collapses, Height will play a significant role. In other words, the higher the structure, the more catastrophic the injury.

    Here are some of the most common injuries associated with building collapses in Myrtle Beach:

    • Ankle Injuries: An ankle injury will likely occur when an individual jumps or falls from a collapsing structure.
    • Bone Fractures: A bone fracture may result from the impact, force, or unnatural landing from a fall.
    • Crush Injuries: When a building collapses, either wholly or partially, body parts may become trapped under rubble or heavy debris.
    • Lacerations: Lacerations and cuts are common among victims of building collapse accidents. This is especially true if a lot of shattered glass is involved in the collapse.
    • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBIs): TBIs usually occur when a victim’s head hits the ground with significant force or when falling objects hit them.

    Anyone who has suffered injury or loss from a building collapse in Myrtle Beach should first seek medical attention, and then they should contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss their next steps.
