“Our results in catastrophic injury cases are measured in financial terms. But I have always felt that the true success in legal cases where lives have been shattered in an accident comes from a compassionate and thorough understanding of the deep human costs involved.”
– Howard Yegendorf, Founding Partner.
Whether at home or at the cottage, many people enjoy spending time outside on their deck or balcony, soaking up the sun or spending time with friends and family. However, when these structures are not built to code or properly maintained, they can collapse resulting in serious injuries and even death.
If you or a loved one is suffering due to an injury sustained in a deck or balcony collapse, we’re here to help. At Howard Yegendorf & Associates, our lawyers have dedicated their careers to representing people and families who have suffered catastrophic injuries or wrongful death due to the negligence of others.
Our law firm in Ottawa represents clients in Toronto and the GTA and throughout eastern Ontario, including Kingston, Pembroke and Smiths Falls. Our lawyers combine for nearly 50 years of experience in personal injury and wrongful death litigation.
Our experience includes pursuing premises liability claims centered on issues such as the following:
The key to successfully pursuing these claims is demonstrating that the owner knew or should have known about the poor condition of the balcony or deck and that he or she did not exercise reasonable care in having the poor condition remedied or warning of the risk in order to ensure persons entering the area were reasonably safe.
We thoroughly investigate these matters to build a strong case on behalf of our clients as we seek full compensation for damages such as rehabilitation services, ongoing care and loss of income.
