Tony, I can't tell you what a blessing you and your team have been during the most tragic time in our lives. By taking over the responsibility of dealing with the hospital bills and insurance companies you've allowed me to focus on my duties as a father and husband.
My family and I just want to thank you for everything you have done and dedication in this car seat case.
I will always keep your professionalism in my heart! Thank you again Chad and Vanessa!
I went to a local lawyer to help my father and I after we were injured in an 18 Wheeler crash. That lawyer brought in another lawyer. Finally, Chad came on board and got our case resolved.

Balconies and decks can be a great place to relax or enjoy the view, whether in your house or out in public. However, the leisure of sitting on a balcony should not distract you from the very real dangers inherent in a balcony collapse or even a deck collapse.

The simple fact is that balcony collapses can happen at any time, leading to very real injuries.

In extreme cases, loss of life can occur. A balcony collapse in Chicago resulted in the tragic death of 12 innocent people and 35 others were very seriously injured.

Call us today if you or a loved one has been injured in a balcony collapse. (877) 307-9500.

Usually, balcony collapses are the fault of someone other than the injured party. Some of the common causes of balcony collapses include:

Poor maintenance
Age
Weak materials
Rust or rot of materials
Poor design/construction
Improper bolts/fastening materials used
Not built to modern codes
Too many people
And more

The victims of balcony collapses can sustain a range of injuries from head trauma to compound fractures.

How to Earn Financial Compensation for Your Balcony Collapse Injuries

If someone else, such as a negligent builder or property owner, caused your balcony collapse injury you may be eligible to recover damages through a civil court case. This type of case often falls under the legal category “premises liability.” Landlord tenant laws may play a factor in balcony collapses, which should be discussed with an experienced lawyer. This is a very complex area of the law and each state can be different. It is imperative that you deal with attorneys experienced in this complex area of the law.

The compensation you may be able to receive can include:

Medical bills
Missed time at work
Permanent losses
Pain and suffering
And more
