Home Renovations and Property Accidents
At certain points in their lives, homeowners may choose to perform renovations to their homes to improve the living-space, provide more room for their family, update appliances, or perform necessary repairs to the home. Such upgrades can improve the quality of life of individuals living in the home and may make the home more attractive to buyers if the owners are looking to sell the property.
Unfortunately, home renovations may take some time to complete, and the area that is being worked on may be hazardous to guests and others who visit your home. If a person suffers injury due to negligent actions of the homeowner or if the homeowner fails to warn of potential dangers, the victim may pursue compensation for pain, suffering, and medical expenses. If you have suffered injury on someone else’s property, contact the Atlanta premises liability lawyers of Webb, Wade, Taylor & Thompson, LLC at 770-631-1811.
Possible Injuries
Possible injuries that may be caused by home renovations include:
- Slip-and-fall injuries on uneven surfaces that are being repaired
- Obstacles placed in high-traffic areas and walkways that can cause trip-and-fall accidents
- Electrical wires and power-cords stretched across walkways
- Exposed electrical wiring that can cause electrocution
- Ceiling collapses and other structural hazards during renovation or construction
- Injuries caused by power-tools and other trade instruments left in the workspace
- Inhalation of harmful chemicals or paint fumes
