Many Toronto homes feature a traditional front porch. They are the perfect place to relax with friends and family when spring and summer roll around. Unfortunately, during the winter months, these porches can become icy and wet, allowing rot and other hazards to set in and corrupt the porch’s foundation. Poor construction and negligent upkeep can cause a porch to collapse, causing serious injury to anyone on the porch. Many modern Toronto apartments also feature balconies, which can cause serious accidents or even fatalities if they are not properly constructed and maintained, or if they are over-burdened.<\/p>\n
Porch collapse cases can have serious consequences, including broken bones, paralyzation, and even death. Whether you are a homeowner or a visitor to a home, if you are injured in a porch collapse you need a lawyer who understands what you’ve been through.

The liability of porch collapse can be attributed to one or more of the following:<\/p>\n A business owner who invites a guest onto their property\u2014such as a store owner inviting a customer inside or a property owner leasing out an apartment to a tenant\u2014generally has the greatest responsibility to provide a safe space. A homeowner who is hosting a party to social guests will have less liability<\/a>, making it more difficult to prove that the owner’s negligent actions directly led to the porch collapse.
