Champlain Towers Building Collapse
Our firm was appointed to the Plaintiffs’ leadership team in the litigation surrounding the Champlain Towers South Condominium Collapse.
MAJOR UPDATE – OVER $1.2 BILLION SETTLEMENT REACHED
On behalf of our clients, our lawyers have reached a settlement worth over $1.2 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 was approved by Miami-Dade County Circuit Court Judge Michael Hanzman. Judge Hanzman praised the speed with which the settlement was reached as “beyond extraordinary . . . .” Judge Hanzman also had this to say about Carlos and Jorge Silva:
“[T]he Silva brothers, when I say they bled for these clients, they took a case that court’s initial reaction was “this guy’s get nothing, nothing, getting nothing” and I’ll let them check the box for a million dollars but in all likelihood he’s not getting anything. And they asked for a continuance, they gathered evidence, they represented this client, and they did a marvelous job. They went all out for every client. They bled for every client. They cried with every client . . . .”
