WHEN LANDLORDS IGNORE SAFETY. . . PEOPLE GET HURT
IF YOU’VE BEEN HURT BECAUSE YOUR LANDLORD NEGLECTED their RESPONSIBILITIES . . .
YOU HAVE RIGHTS
With ownership comes responsibility. Every owner of a building, whether residential or commercial, is responsible to look for, identify, and correct or warn of any hazards that can hurt tenants, visitors or members of the general public. The law does not condone landlords collecting rents and avoiding their obligations to maintain their properties to not needlessly expose the public to risk.
Ardalan and Associates has successfully held landlords responsible for damages caused by their neglect when they have either:
1. Created a condition on their property that exposed people to injury; or
2. Ignored conditions that they should have known about and corrected before someone got hurt
Over the years, Ardalan and Associates has recovered millions of dollars in damages from careless property owners, landlords, management companies, and maintenance workers whose actions or inactions resulted in injuries by people from trip and falls, slip and falls, falling cabinets, falling gates, falling tree limbs, mold, floor decay, water damage or leakage, poor lighting, housing code violations, and other poor and dilapidated conditions.
If you or someone you know was injured on a premises because of a condition that the landlord or maintenance company knew or should have known about but ignored, then you should call us immediately for a free consultation. The attorneys at Ardalan & Associates will help you get the compensation you deserve and stand up to slumlords, large corporations, and insurance companies trying to deny your rights.
Ardalan & Associates prides itself in getting the best results for its clients, and by doing so, not only do our clients benefit, but so does our community. By holding landlords responsible, we make our homes and businesses safer for every member of our community . . . including our children, the elderly, and the disabled.
