Millions of people in Maryland rent their apartments or homes and expect that the landlord will properly maintain the premises so that their home is a safe place to live. If the landlord fails to do so, the renter(s) have the right to file legal action against them, either to make the necessary repairs for the home to be safe and habitable or to compensate the renter for their losses from a roof collapse or other dangers.
This duty of care for people on their property extends to other property owners besides residential renters. All property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe, whether it’s an apartment complex, bank, retail store, or Taco Bell. Part of this duty of care includes the obligation to regularly inspect the property and promptly correct any unsafe defects, including the roof.
If you have been hurt when a roof collapses, contact an experienced ceiling collapse injury lawyer to help you understand your legal rights for compensation. The legal team at Azari Law, LLC, has the depth of experience necessary to take on even the most powerful property owners, and we’re committed to a successful resolution for your claim.
Skilled Ceiling Collapse Injury Attorney Focused On Your Rights
If you suffered injury, property damage, or both due to a ceiling or roof collapse, the attorneys at our firm can help you receive the amount of your material losses, plus consideration for your pain and suffering. You may have lost nearly everything you own or suffered debilitating neck or head trauma in the accident.
If the property owner knew or should have reasonably known that the roof was in such poor condition that collapse was imminent or failed to maintain its integrity and security, then that property owner can be held liable for your injuries and other losses. We want to help you demand fair compensation for everything you’ve lost, building a strong case of negligence against the property owner and taking the matter to civil court, if need be.
Skilled Premises Liability Lawyers Working For Injured Victims Like You
We thoroughly investigate your claim, analyzing the maintenance and repair logs of the property and having our own professional accident inspectors evaluate the scene and attest to the cause of the collapse. We focus on securing fair compensatory damages for your clients, but in some extreme cases, such as when the property manager or owner knows about the problem or had similar problems with the roof or ceiling in the past and failed to take proper steps to avoid injury due to those problems, we may also seek punitive, or punishing damages, both to punish a wrongdoer and serve as a deterrent to other property owners who may be tempted to cut similar corners.
