Iowa Governor Requests Federal Aid Following Building Collapse Lawsuit.

A woman whose leg was amputated after being trapped in the rubble of a partially collapsed building in Davenport, Iowa, has filed a lawsuit against the city and the building's owner, accusing them of negligence. The couple seeks unspecified damages to compensate for medical bills, emotional distress, and lost wages. The building collapse left three people dead, many injured, and dozens displaced. Governor Kim Reynolds has requested federal aid for the emergency response and assistance with the demolition of the remaining structure, estimated to cost at least $5 million. Two other lawsuits have been filed, and city documents suggest concerns were conveyed to the city and property owner over the course of months.
