Subject: RE: Mis-Guided Lawsuit
As for the family members (opportunists as you call them), I'm quite sure they would much rather have their husbands, sons, or fathers safe at home than to be filing the lawsuit.
The Building owner & furniture manufacturer are very much at fault here, as is detailed in the report...if you can find time to read it before shooting off a post such as you have.
The building was joined together by some unpermitted construction that created a massive structure that under Charleston fire codes would have required a sprinkler system. This work was done with out obtaining permits or approval of plans. If it had been, the company would have been required to install a sprinkler system that would have contained &/or extinquished the blaze before is spread to the entire structure & took the lives of 9 very brave & dedicated men.
