The law imposes an obligation on property owners, landlords and property managers to maintain buildings, stairs, sidewalks, walkways, yards and common areas in a reasonably safe condition for users. Unfortunately, these people sometimes fail to do what they are supposed to do and as a result people get hurt. Since 1990 Zayas Law Firm has been representing victims of accidents on neglected properties. We have represented people injured in accidents such as:
- Slip and falls due to ice and snow accumulation
- Slip and falls due to wet and/or slick floors
- Slip and falls in supermarkets and department stores
- Slip and falls due to poorly maintained stairs including lack of handrails, broken steps, poor or no lighting and unstable stairs
- Trip and fall accident in holes, potholes and torn carpets
- Falling and protruding objects and or merchandise
Our firm also represents clients injured on properties that lack or have inadequate security. The law imposes an obligation on property owners, landlords and managers to maintain proper security when reasonably necessary. The lack of said security may expose a person to serious injury. When a person is injured because of inadequate security or the lack of any security, Zayas Law Firm has the experience, knowledge and tools to hold the property owner, landlord and /or manager liable for said injuries.
We work very hard to develop our cases and to protect our clients from the typical attempts to blame the victim for their injuries.
