Jim Beasley Jr. was asked to represent a man who was blinded after a heart transplant. Through relentless discovery, Jim was able to learn that the surgeon who was supposed to be monitoring this patient went to observe another operation, leaving the patient (and our client) to become blinded due to the delay in returning him to the operating room to correct the abnormal blood pressures due to complications of the heart transplant.
There are perhaps hundreds of thousands of impending disasters waiting in homes all over the U.S. We know this because the North American Deck & Railing Association reports that there are more than 50 million wooden decks in the nation older than 25 years old-for reference, wood decks have a life expectancy of only 15 years. Millions of homeowners, tenants, and guests are at risk of suffering a severe injury due to a deck or balcony collapse.

Anyone who owns a deck or terrace-from hotel owners to homeowners-is obligated to make sure the deck is properly maintained or replaced when it is no longer safe. Failing to maintain the safety and structural integrity of the balcony means the owner is liable for any injuries that occur as a result. Wooden decks decay and become unsafe over time as a result of:
Building a safe terrace is not just about maintenance-compliance with safety regulations and building codes is the duty of every private owner or public property manager. The nationally-renowned Philadelphia premises liability attorneys at The Beasley Firm have seen cases where a child slipped and fell through railing that wasn't built to a safe standard, or strangled themselves by accident. Balcony collapses can result in truly horrific and severe injuries, especially for larger balconies or higher falls. Life-altering harm like spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, internal damage, fractures, paralysis, and fatal injuries are all possible outcomes of a structural failure like deck or terrace collapse. These injuries often require a lifetime of care, thousands in initial medical expenses, and cost thousands more in lost wages. That's why our work as premises liability lawyers is so crucial for our clients.
