PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (June 4, 2018) - Philadelphia attorneys Robert
J. Mongeluzzi and Andrew R. Duffy, who have represented victims and
their families in numerous fatal building collapse cases, are
available to discuss this morning's Brewerytown row-house
demolition that has resulted in the loss of at least one life.
Today's disaster comes nearly five years to the day of the fatal
collapse of the Salvation Army Thrift Store at 22nd
and Market Streets. Saltz, Mongeluzzi, Barrett & Bendesky,
P.C., was lead plaintiff's counsel in the resulting civil
litigation - representing nine clients - and concluded with a
record $227 million settlement. Besides representing victims of
unsafe demolitions and other types of structural failures, they
have strongly advocated for sweeping reforms in municipal
demolition permit processes and safety standards to protect the
public and workers.
The attorneys have also represented victims in wrongful death
litigation resulting from the Tropicana Casino parking garage fatal
collapse and the Pier 34 restaurant fatal collapse.
