The deadly condo collapse in Surfside, Florida, now transformed from a search and rescue mission to the recovery of bodies, has ignited numerous lawsuits, federal and local probes, building reforms, and reviews by numerous towns scrambling to avoid a similar disaster.

Currently, ninety-five bodies or partial remains have been pulled from the collapse site, with another fourteen or so still unaccounted for at the site.

Due to the condition of the bodies, only Eighty-five of the victims have been identified at this time.

The collapsed Champlain Towers South were leveled last week, creating safer conditions for excavators, who have been bravely working since June 24 to search for remains. In total, these excavators have removed over eight million pounds of concrete from the collapse site.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said," The process of making identifications has become more difficult as time goes on. We must rely heavily on the work of the medical examiner's office to identify human remains. The process is very methodical, and it's careful, and it does take time."

In addition to American victims, many victims were from Latin American countries, including Colombia, Venezuela, Uruguay, and Paraguay.

Numerous lawsuits have been filed, and more are expected. Over a dozen lawsuits have been filed against the building's condo association. Other defendants named in lawsuits include the city of Surfside, a new development under construction next door to the condo, the engineering firms that inspected the property, individuals, and groups.

A Champlain Towers South resident filed the first lawsuit, a class-action lawsuit, about a day after the condo collapsed. The newest case, filed a few days ago, was brought by the fifteen-year-old boy who was rescued from the pile "with devastating injuries" and lost his mother to the deadly collapse.

Attorney Jorge Silva, who filed a lawsuit for a client, included fifteen defendants. In a statement, he said more defendants would follow.

"There is no doubt that there's culpability. There is no doubt that there is unspeakable negligence," said Silva, "There is no doubt that this building was screaming for years that exactly this would ultimately happen."

First up as defendants for new lawsuits are the five insurers of the condo buildings. Two insurers have volunteered to pay out their policy limits of $3 million, but attorneys for victims said another $48 million in insurance coverage is yet to be processed.

Even so, estimated compensation damages for victims and their families due to the international disaster are expected to reach higher than $1 billion.

There is now a public push for attorneys to work pro bono for Surfside victims, with substantial compensation numbers expected.

There are so many lawyers involved that Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman told a group of them in court that they need to create a system for leadership among them.

Hanzman also told the lawyers he hopes they would work for free.

"I got the best of the bar here, but not everybody can have a leadership role, and the faster you all realize that and try to reach some consensus, the faster we can move this along and try to get the victims some compensation," Hanzman told the lawyers.

Attorney Patrick Montoya, representing victims and their families, said he would assist other lawyers in providing pro bono work.

Calling the condo collapse "Miami's 9/11," Montoya said his firm also offered free legal work to victims of the September 11 attack and that the condo collapse is a similar situation. Now, he noted, it's time for anyone responsible for negligence to be punished and for new systems to be put in place to prevent future similar tragedies.

"If you're negligent and not using reasonable care, this is what's going to happen," Montoya said. "You're going to have to pay."

Currently, towns on the Florida coast are ordering new construction reviews on seaside properties. Boca Raton, 38 miles away from Surfside, immediately reviewed their ordinances and building codes, said Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer. The Boca Raton city council plans to institute a new building recertification process.

"Our staff has been doing a comprehensive inventory of our buildings," said Singer at the town council meeting. "But not to serve only family residences but also our commercial buildings to figure out what's the most appropriate. I thought it was very important that we be proactive, that we put in more stringent requirements, and we ensure people that we're taking greater steps for their safety."
