Brooklyn Injury From Ceiling Collapse Lawyer

Injured by a Ceiling Collapse in Brooklyn? We Can Help.

Every landlord and commercial property owner has a legal obligation to maintain their property so that there are no health and safety hazards. This includes ensuring that all ceilings on the property are safe and properly maintained. When some part of a ceiling – tiles, plaster, fans and lighting fixtures, and so on – collapses, that is an avoidable accident which should have been foreseen and prevented. If you or someone important to you has been injured by a ceiling collapse, it is important to work with a Brooklyn personal injury lawyer experienced with ceiling collapse cases.

Ceiling collapse is no laughing matter. A falling ceiling can cause serious and traumatic injuries to a victim’s head, neck, back, and other parts of the body. In the most serious cases, the resulting damage to nerves, tendons, muscles, and joints can be serious enough to cause traumatic brain injury, paralysis, or death. If you have been injured by a ceiling collapse, contacting a Brooklyn ceiling collapse injury lawyer is an important step in making sure that you are properly compensated for your suffering. A property owner can be held liable for damages if an injury from a ceiling collapse is caused by any of these reasons:

–   Failure to fix a leak in the ceiling

–   Failure to repair structural damage to the ceiling

–   Failure to remove snow from the roof

–   Failure to repair cracks in the ceiling

–   Skipped or inadequate routine ceiling maintenance

–   Violation of building codes

–   Failure to treat an animal or insect infestation that weakened the ceiling
