Defective Property conditions can cover a wide range of issues that can cause life altering injuries and even death.
Some examples of Defective Property conditions that can cause injuries include, but are not limited to:
- Poorly Lit Parking Lots and Sidewalks – poor lighting is a leading cause of conditions that can lead to injury
- Neglected or Poor Maintenance – another area where we see many injuries. This would include failure to clear snow or ice, broken stairs, loose railing, cracked sidewalks, electrical systems and many more.
- Slippery Floors - Wet or poorly maintained floors can lead to slip and fall accidents.
- Pests - Rodent or insect problems can lead to health hazards.
All these conditions and more can be found in private homes, offices, factories, governmental property and retail property.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury due to Defective Property Conditions, call us. We can help.

Causation - The defective property directly contributed to your injuries.
