Manhattan Construction Defects Lawyer
Queens Faulty Construction Attorney
Faulty construction is a problem for people working on a building, as well as for people who will enter the building after it is completed. When safety and building codes are not followed, the result is an unsafe structure that can pose many dangers.
If you have been injured by a construction defect, contact DeToffol & Associates. We represent injured individuals and workers in New York City and the surrounding area. We have the experience and background to build an effective and strong case. Call us at 212-962-2220 for a free consultation.
How Does Defective Construction Happen?
There are many ways that construction defects can happen. Not following fire, electrical or building codes can be very dangerous. An architect can design an unsound building. Contractors may cut costs that lead to poor construction. Issues like these can cause all or part of a building to collapse.
Negligent security issues such as broken locks, faulty communication systems and unlit exit signs are also problems.
Who Is Affected by Construction Defects?
Anyone who comes in contact with a poorly built structure is at risk. However, firemen and police are at an increased risk because they may be injured by a building's defects when they respond to an emergency. For instance, falling through fire-damaged floors is very common for firefighters, or building code violations and broken exit signs can cause first responders to become trapped inside.
