Car Wash Roof Collapse Injury Attorney

The damage that it takes to make a roof collapse inward or outward would surprise most people. There are many issues and problems that will be seen and will occur on a roof, before it starts the process to collapse. When a roof is in a structural distress situation, that is when the action to repair, replace or bolster the roof to fix it must happen. If the owner or lessor on a building misses these critical signs before a collapse, the collapse is on the way sure enough. There are some common symptoms that you will find on a roof that is dangerously close to failure. These signs for an impending failure can include:

• Sagging steel on the roof structure
• Buckling steel frames
• Severe and constant roof leaks
• Split and cracked wood structures on the inside of the building
• Bends and rippling in the metal support structures
• Cracks and breaks in the masonry and walls
• Cracked welds and steel in the walls
• Sheared off screws in the metal framing
• Sprinkler heads falling down into ceiling tiles
• Water collecting on the roof in large puddles
• Doors inside the building that pop open and won’t stay closed
• Windows that buckle and won’t open or close properly
• Bowed utility piping
• Bowed and unbraced conduit attached on the ceiling
• Creaking and popping sounds in the building
• Crackling and weird sounds in the building and outside the structure
• Water pooling outside the building in odd areas from runoff after rainstorms

If there are issues with the building and the owner or operator does not address these roofing problems, then there can be a roof collapse that will occur. At the time that the roof collapses, there is a high likelihood of crushing injuries, amputations and death to anyone who is inside the building when the roof finally gives way. In the case of a car wash roof collapsing, if someone who is an employee or customer is in the building when the roofing finally falls, it will be a dire situation that can come with severe consequences. The roof of a car wash should be inspected regularly to ensure that it is safe, secured and not ready to collapse at any minute. If there are necessary repairs that need to be made, then the owner of the car wash or the operators need to make or schedule these repairs, for the safety of anyone using the building during working hours.

If you are in a car wash or any building that collapsed on you from the roof falling in, you may be lucky to be alive after this accident. A crush injury or acute compartment syndrome injury can be a life-threatening injury.² If you are crushed under a building, you can have crushing injuries to any part of your body, including:

• Head and neck
• Abdomen
• Legs
• Arms and extremities
• Back

Your crushing injuries can have penetrating traumas to your internal organs as well, which can result in bleeding and internal organ damage that can be life-threatening. If you are buried under a collapsed roof at a car wash or at any building, you may have high blood loss and other complications related to your internal organs. Other complications from a crushing injury can include:²

• Shock
• Renal failure
• Hypothermia
• Cardiac arrhythmias
• Muscle necrosis
• Metabolic acidosis
• Hyperkalemia
• Traumatic rhabdomyolysis
• Kidney failure
• Trauma to internal organs
