Ceiling collapse injury lawyer

There are few tenant events more shocking than a sudden Bronx ceiling collapse. While some may see or hear early signs of trouble, few people expect such a terrible crisis to unfold.

They may also hire poorly trained maintenance workers to fix the problems -- and allow them to use substandard building materials while handling their repair tasks; if someone is sleeping or otherwise present beneath a roof when it crashes down, severe or catastrophic physical injuries can occur.
