In 1981, a condominium under construction in Cocoa Beach collapsed. Eleven lives were lost and many more people were badly hurt.
The collapse of Harbour Cay Condominium was one of the worst construction accidents Florida had ever seen.
Board-certified attorney Jack Hamilton explains how the lead attorneys in the case, Jim Nance (his uncle) and Sammy Cacciatore, led the legal fight for the victims and their families, helping them win $10.3 millionโa huge outcome at that time.
But what happened after the case mattered even more than the verdict itself.
Because of their work, Florida adopted tougher building codes and new laws. Construction sites also became safer, making another disaster like this much less likely.
