Bridge Collapses
Federal law now requires each state to properly inspect its bridges every two years. However, even when faults are found, many times nothing is done to correct them or the process is delayed. This negligence can cause catastrophic injuries and even death. If you or a loved one was seriously injured due to a bridge collapse or other type of structural defect, it is important to take the time to seek out legal counsel from a skilled and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer.
