I news has now learned a possible lawsuit our settlement is brewing following the collapse of a Grand Forks apartment balcony last June here’s our original report that ran on June 8th of this year it was a strange sequence of events that led up to a balcony collapse that injured five people at this apartment complex at 3880 Garden View Drive in Grand Forks early Saturday morning this is a block and a half east of the Alerus Center and can add in complex the first emergency call came in at 2:16 a.m. 3880 Garden View for four people stuck in an elevator there is no injuries but the reporting party says it’s very warm they’ve been in there about 20 minutes then while emergency crews were already on the scene freeing people from a stuck elevator in this building a fourth floor balcony collapsed injuring five people I spoke with a neighbor who lives directly below where the balcony collapsed but you think there was a party going on there wasn’t comedies but a month of thinking that wasn’t probably going on up there he says he woke up after hearing all the commotion after the balcony collapsed authorities haven’t released the condition or names of the five people injured but a quick look at medical studies regarding a fall from 30 feet shows severe injuries can occur from a fall of that height what’s sure to come under scrutiny here is a construction of the balconies and whether or not they’re up to cold now again that was my report from June of this year however I’ve now just been contacted by a private investigator who was asking questions about my coverage of the incident they’re often hired by attorneys to do background on cases where they’re working on a settlement or preparing to file a lawsuit as of the close of business on Friday no personal injury lawsuit connected to this case had been filed in Grand Forks district court we’ll keep you updated I’m Neil Berg reporting for I news TV
