Victims of Shuckers deck collapse may need Miami personal injury attorney

If you’ve suffered a personal injury due to an individual or business’s negligence, you could have grounds to seek legal action. By enlisting the services of a seasoned Miami personal injury attorney, you can go about recovering damages to which you may be entitled.

Nearly 100 people were watching a Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs playoffs game from the deck of Shuckers Bar & Grill in North Bay Village, Florida, on Thursday, June 13, when the structure collapsed, harming dozens of individuals. According to The Miami Herald, one couple — Reynaldo Reyes and Flavia Ellembergerhas — has already filed a personal injury lawsuit against the business, though more injured parties are expected to come forward and do the same.

The Miami personal injury attorney representing the plaintiffs told the source that Reyes and Ellembergerhas were plunged into four feet of water after the wooden deck gave out, and have “suffered bodily injury, disfigurement [and] mental anguish” as a result of the incident.

There is an ongoing investigation in place to determine what caused the structure to collapse. CBS Miami reported on June 14 that although the restaurant was inspected in 2011, records show that the deck wasn’t included in this review.
