没人负责？你怕是看抹黑境外势力的简体字新闻看多了吧？哪里都会有事故。你们韭菜地首先想到的就是掩盖，镇压舆论。
相反其他国家，把事故的每条原因，每条处罚，每个细节向公众公开的清清楚楚！
韭菜地新修一年的地铁线全面漏水，到现在任何一条新闻都没有，没有任何讨论。只有辟谣的官方发布，当民众瞎了眼啊！天天漏水看不到，要你辟谣啊！
Who is responsible for the FIU bridge collapse?
FIU bridge collapse | Lessons learnt three years since ...
A National Transportation Safety Board report into the collapse concluded that design calculation errors made by MCM's consultant Figg Bridge Engineers were ultimately to blame. But failures by the independent design checker, client, contractor and on-site construction supervisor also contributed to the disaster.
Legal action
On June 24, 2021, the same day as the accident, a lawsuit was filed in Miami Dade Circuit Court by a resident of the building against the Champlain Towers South Condominium Association, seeking $5 million in damages "due to defendant's acts and omissions and their failure to properly protect the lives and property of plaintiff and class members".[170]
On July 2, the Champlain Towers South condominium board issued a statement to the press following a judge's decision[171] directing a receiver to release emergency assistance funds to residents of the building. The full statement read:
The surviving members of the Champlain Towers South Condominium Association board have concluded that, in the best interest of all concerned parties, an independent Receiver should be appointed to oversee the legal and claims process. The collapse of Champlain Towers South is an unspeakable tragedy that has devastated our community, our neighbors, and our friends. We are grieving and our hearts ache for those who have been lost and for their families. They have our deepest condolences. Our profound gratitude goes out to the emergency rescue personnel – professionals and volunteers alike – who have been working around the clock. We know that answers will take time as part of a comprehensive investigation and we will continue to work with city, state, local, and federal officials in their rescue efforts, and to understand the causes of this tragedy.[172]
On July 16, 2021, the trial court appointed class counsel, led by co-chair lead counsel Harley Tropin and Rachel Furst,[173] to represent two subclasses of victims - those who had lost family members or suffered a personal injury as a result of the collapse, and those who had suffered only an economic loss on account of the destruction of their apartment unit.
On August 16, 2021, class counsel filed an amended consolidated class action complaint on behalf of these classes of victims, naming only the Champlain Towers South Condominium Association as a defendant and alleging the Association's negligence in its failure to adequately maintain and repair the building.[174] After initial investigation into additional contributing causes of the collapse, on November 16, 2021, class counsel filed a second amended complaint, bringing a class action lawsuit against various entities responsible for the development, maintenance, and repair of the Champlain Towers South property and the neighboring development located at 8701 Collins Avenue, known as Eighty Seven Park.[175] The named defendants were 8701 Collins Development, LLC; Terra Group, LLC; Terra World Investments, LLC; John Moriarty & Associates of Florida, Inc.; NV5, Inc.; DeSimone Consulting Engineers, LLC; Champlain Towers South Condominium Association, Inc.; Morabito Consultants, Inc.; and Becker & Poliakoff, P.A.[176] The trial court denied motions to dismiss this class action complaint, and it was amended again on March 10, 2022, to add Stantec Architecture Inc.; Geosonics, Inc.; Florida Civil, Inc.; and 8701 Collins Avenue Condominium Association, Inc., as additional defendants.[177]
On June 23, 2022, one day before the 1 year anniversary of the collapse, a $1.02 billion settlement was approved by Judge Michael Hanzman for victims of the collapse.[178] The defendants in the case and other targets that were never named as defendants chose to settle quickly to avoid long delays from litigation and exposure to liability.[3] Roughly half the settlement amount came from a single company, Securitas AB, that was never named in the lawsuit, in relation to the on-duty security guard not triggering a building-wide alarm before she exited the building.[179]

In the years after the collapse, insurance rates for condominiums in the area increased several-fold.[180][181][182] |
