Determining Fault
It is challenging to determine who is at fault when a ceiling falls. Conducting a proper and thorough investigation is essential to determine whether the responsible party is the business owner, property owner or manager, repair company, construction company, sub-contractor, manufacturer, or architect.
Contributing factors to ceiling collapses can include:
- Improperly repaired leaks
- Hiding problems by painting over them instead of fixing them
- Negligent inspections
- Incomplete repairs
- Inadequate maintenance
- Infestations of vermin
- Incompetent or unlicensed laborers
- Violations of business codes
- Violations of best practices to cut corners
- Exceeding the weight limit of the ceiling
- Using inferior materials
Ignoring or covering up signs of impending collapse such as water damage, buckling, cracking, and sounds of creaking could have contributed to the accident.

The negligent party should be held accountable and you need to be compensated.
