FLORIDA LAWYERS FOR
The Champlain Towers South Condominium Collapse

MAJOR UPDATE – MAY 2022

On behalf of our clients, our lawyers have reached a tentative settlement worth nearly $1 billion with multiple responsible entities regarding the Surfside building’s collapse that killed 98 people. The entities in the proposed settlement include the condo association, the city of Surfside, and engineering, architectural and other companies involved in the building and maintenance of Champlain Towers South. The settlement proposal is waiting for final approval from Miami-Dade County Circuit Court Judge Michael Hanzman.  Judge Hanzman praised the speed with which the settlement was reached as “beyond extraordinary . . . .” Judge Hanzman said he hoped to close the case by June 24, 2022 which is the one-year anniversary of the tragedy. The proposed settlement could also grow larger because our lawyers are still working on reaching an agreement with one other company that was involved with the condos.
