By Our Brooklyn Construction Accident and Building Collapse Attorney Teams
A devastating building collapse in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, left one person dead and 11 others injured, including several construction workers in critical condition. The tragedy has raised serious questions about construction site safety, excavation practices, and the responsibility of developers and contractors to protect neighboring structures.
The collapse occurred shortly after 4 p.m. at 1321 Flatbush Avenue, a three-story mixed-use building situated next to an active construction site at 2625 Bedford Avenue.
