The construction project contracted by Jitai Construction caused the houses to collapse and tilt, affecting more than a hundred households. The residents were unable to return to their homes. Many people fled overnight without taking anything with them. If the damage to their homes was serious, they would have to be rebuilt. It will take three to five years. Now that the impact is expanding, Jitai Construction may have to lose one billion yuan.

Lawyer Li Yusheng explains relevant legal issues
Lawyer Li Yusheng explained that if it can be determined that the collapse of the house was caused by a nearby construction site, then the builder may be liable for related damages. As long as the residents suffer any damage caused by this, including damage to the house, damage and loss of property inside the house, and the related expenses incurred by the residents in the subsequent period when they need to find another place to live, they can seek compensation from the builder. However, if the builder is unwilling to compensate as soon as possible and needs to go through civil litigation procedures, it may be time-consuming and time-consuming. Moreover, if the builder goes out of business, even if the victims finally obtain a winning judgment, they will not be able to actually obtain compensation. In order to prevent the builder from going out of business, you can first apply to the court for leave to seize the builder's property. However, when applying for leave to seize the property, you generally need to provide a security deposit of approximately 1/3 of the claim amount, which is also a huge burden for the disaster victims.
