Dangerous Property Condition

Any owner of property, public or private, has a duty to make sure that their property is safe. This means that one must make the necessary repairs or warn people of potential hazards to be compliant with the law. If you have been seriously harmed by a dangerous property condition, you may be entitled to monetary compensation.​​

  • Defective guardrails

  • Bad lighting,

  • Improper security,

  • Falling objects,

  • Tripping hazards,
