Dangers, Disrepair, and Premises Liability

The law office of Panter, Panter & Sampedro represents clients injured in premises liability cases involving the following:

• Exposed electrical wiring
• Falling debris
• Water incursion
• Defective smoke detectors
• Faulty stairs and railings
• Locked fire exits
• Exposure to toxic chemicals or substances including lead paint
• Crumbling concrete

Premises Liability: Proper Maintenance and the Safety of Patrons

Even if the physical conditions of a building or store are properly maintained, elevators, escalators, fire alarms, and entryways must all be properly maintained. Office buildings and retailers that fail to call repairmen or alert patrons to a broken or defective piece of machinery can be held liable for violating a duty of care to customers and building patrons.

At Panter, Panter & Sampedro, our attorneys work closely with investigators in order to determine why a revolving door, escalator, elevator, or hotel room appliance failed to work properly. While a manufacturing defect may occasionally be involved, poor maintenance is often the reason for elevator and escalator accidents.

Holding Negligent Property Owners Liable

We have the experience and access to investigative resources needed to expose poor building maintenance and disregard for safety codes and requirements. We review video footage when available, inspect maintenance report schedules, interview witnesses, and collect other relevant evidence from the scene of our client's accident.
