WHO recently asked Lin McCraw to come on the air in Des Moines, IA to discuss the recent building collapse in Davenport and the legal implications surrounding it. McCraw, a trial attorney and past president of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, shared his insights on the possible causes of the collapse, including the use of painted bricks, which may have trapped moisture and led to the building’s degradation over time.
McCraw emphasized that the case is about more than just money; it’s about public safety and exposing problems in order to make necessary changes. He expects a period of discovery to determine which defendants are culpable and to what extent, with some settling sooner than others. The process is likely to take several years, as various parties, including insurance companies, sort out responsibility and accountability for the damages.
The attorney also addressed concerns about the millions of Americans living in painted brick buildings, explaining that the risk depends on the specific building. In the case of the Davenport collapse, there were clear warning signs, such as crumbling bricks and structural issues, that were not addressed in time to prevent the tragedy.
In conclusion, McCraw stressed the importance of paying attention to signs of potential building issues and taking action to avoid future disasters. For more information on Lin McCraw and his work, visit mccrawlawgroup.com.
