Personal Injury

Stuart Grossman was a recipient of the Steven J. Sharp Public Service Award for his work on behalf of victims of the 2021 Champlain Towers South condo collapse. The court-appointed attorneys who worked on the cases poured all their energy into uncovering every detail, following the leads that would reveal all the responsible entities. Ultimately, within one year, their efforts helped the families of victims whose lives were devastated by this horrific tragedy. The team's work was about more than justice for the victims and survivors. It was about ensuring that no other families suffer the same tragedy. As a result, new safety laws were passed by the Florida legislature including regular mandated inspections for residential complexes and the timely repair of any deterioration. The settlement pool was $997 million, likely to exceed $1 billion.
