First Lawsuit Filed Over Deadly Condo Tower Collapse In Miami, FL
A condo owner whose unit was inside the Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida, has filed a class-action lawsuit against the condominium association, less than a day after the deadly collapse that killed four and left at least 159 people missing.
NBC Miami reported that Manuel Drezner, the condo owner, filed a lawsuit late on Thursday, around 22 hours after the tower collapsed. Drezner alleges the Champlain Towers South Condominium Association “disregarded the rights of Plaintiff and Class members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, or negligently doing the following: failing to take adequate and reasonable measures to ensure the safety and protection of its residents and their property, failing to disclose to its residents and visitors that it did not have adequate safety measures in place to safeguard occupants of Champlain Towers South, failing to take available steps to prevent the catastrophic collapse of the building, and failing to monitor the building and activities that led to the collapse of the building, among other things.”
