Building Defects Can Injure People
Owners of buildings and other premises are responsible for maintaining those premises in a safe manner. When someone is injured in a falling accident caused by a faulty stairway, for example, the owner can be held liable for the damages.

Sometimes a falling accident is exactly that — an accident. But there are times when a falling accident is caused because of a defect in a building or a failure to maintain safe premises. When that happens, my team and I know how to investigate and make a claim for your injuries.
- See a doctor about your injuries. Your first concern should be for your health. A falling accident can cause injuries that are not immediately obvious. A broken bone will be apparent, but a back injury or brain injury may not be immediately obvious. If you do not have a doctor, don't know who to call or can't afford medical treatment, contact us. We will work with you to find the care you need.
- What is a dangerous building? A dangerous building is one that has defects that can cause injury. Windows or railings may be too low — so low that a person can easily fall. In a building that has a leaking roof, the ceiling may weaken and fall on people in the room below. When lead paint has been used, the building can be dangerous to children.
- Premises liability includes negligent security. Did the apartment building owner fail to fix broken locks? Did a hotel fail to provide a safe environment? Negligent security places residents and guests in danger of attack.
