That Building Jumped In Front of Me!

Vehicles crash into buildings more often that you might think.  We usually get called to inspect the resulting structural damage a couple of times a year.  Usually, the local authorities condemn the building until a structural engineer makes an inspection and either provides repair details (and the repairs are made) or a letter stating that the building structure has not been compromised.  It takes a trained eye to differentiate between structural and non-structural damage.
