The engineering company hired to do a safety check on the Surfside condo that later collapsed is settling lawsuits by the survivors and family members of victims.
Morabito Consultants, whose inspection of the Champlain Towers South Condominium board in 2018 included warning of a “major error” in the building’s construction that left it open to water damage, announced Wednesday that its insurance companies would be compensating the families. The engineering company denied that it was in any way at fault, and said it had performed up to proper standards.
“The families who have suffered from this tragedy deserve compensation so that they may focus on healing,” the company’s statement read. “We therefore applaud the settlement reached by our insurers to resolve these difficult issues fairly and expeditiously.”
