Unsafe Buildings | Architectural Defects | Structural Defects | Premises Liability
When a building owner invites the public to enter that building, whether to purchase goods or services at a business or to live in residential housing, that owner assumes a duty to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety and welfare of all who use the building. This duty prevails, even if safety risks are due to the building’s architectural or structural defects. If you have been injured in an unsafe building, you want an experienced personal injury attorney to protect your rights.
At Blackman Legal Group, we bring more than three decades of experience to people who have suffered personal injuries in California. We have a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the laws and legal procedures governing personal injury and can help you identify all your alternatives. We thoroughly prepare every case, paying close attention to all aspects of your claim. As a result, our attorneys often settle claims at or above insurance policy limits. We have also obtained verdicts or settlements that exceed $1 million for many clients.

When You Have Been Injured in an Unsafe Building
A building may be unsafe for any number of reasons. The architect may have been negligent in designing the structure, so that it is structurally unsound and unable to withstand weight load, climate variances or movements under the earth. The owner or the builder may have also used untested, substandard or inadequate material in an attempt to minimize costs, leading to the deterioration of parts of the structure.
The building’s owner has a duty to remedy any known defects or to provide you with reasonable notice of any potential safety risk. Our attorneys will handle any injury claim arising as a result of architectural or contractor negligence, as well as premises liability claims against owners for operating unsafe structures.
We handle claims involving
- slips and falls. Slips and falls may result from wet floors, as well as defective steps or stairways.
- falling objects. Often, when there are structural or architectural defects, people risk injury from falling building materials or structures.
- deck or building collapses. A cave in or collapse resulting from architectural or structural defects can cause serious injury or death. We will aggressively protect your rights in these types of claims.
We handle all personal injury claims on a contingent fee basis. We will only charge attorney fees if we recover compensation for your losses.
