Broken bones, nerve injuries, and burns resulting from deck collapses often lead to significant medical bills.
Builders and landlords must follow specific codes and safety regulations to properly construct and maintain porches and decks. When landlords or leasing companies bend or break rules and a deck collapses, people may be seriously injured or killed. Injuries happen not only from the height of the fall, but also when furniture, grills, and other items fall on victims during the collapse.
Deck collapses happen for a number of reasons:
- Rotted or undersized support posts are not appropriate for the deck type or expected load
- Water damage compromises deck components like the ledger board that connects the deck to the house or apartment
- Deck repair work relies on screws or picketts that are not up to code
