Playa de Palma Trial: Who Bears Responsibility After the Rooftop Terrace Collapse?

Answer

What usually decides who is responsible after a terrace collapse in Mallorca?

Responsibility can depend on several parties, including the property owner, the operator, the architect, the construction company and sometimes the authority that approved the work. In Mallorca, the key issue is often whether the terrace was properly permitted, inspected and maintained, and whether warning signs were missed. A court will usually look at documents, expert reports and the chain of decisions before the accident.
