The negligence or wrongdoing of property owners can result in a wide range of injuries, including:

• Physical attacks - Landlords and other property owners can take many steps to ensure the safety of a building's occupants. However, when locks are not in proper working condition, security cameras do no work, lighting in common areas is inadequate, broken windows are left unrepaired and security guards are not performing their jobs properly, innocent people can be robbed, assaulted, and even raped.
• Elevator accidents - An elevator accident can be the result of mislevelling, where the elevator does not stop level with the floor and the individual may be caused to fall upon exiting. An elevator accident can also occur when the lift does not stop on the ground floor or basement and continues plummeting to the bottom of the elevator shaft, causing injury.
• Slips and falls - Slips, trips and falls can result in serious head injuries, back injuries and neck injuries. These types of injuries could have been prevented by keeping stairways and other walking surfaces in good working condition, free from debris, liquids or other hazardous agents.
• Ceiling and wall collapses - When ceilings and walls give way and collapse due to water leaks or other hazards that go unaddressed, serious injury can result.
