personal injury
If a landlord does not fix a rotten front porch and the tentant falls through the porch and now has 3 bulging disks, is the landlord responsible?

Re: personal injury
Yes, under many circumstances the property owner (landlord) may be held to be legally liable for injuries such as you describe. However, an attorney can not render competent legal advice to you over the internet based upon only the information contained in your question. If you are the injured person, and you are not already represented by legal counsel, you may call me for a free telephone consultation at 314-727-2822. I practice in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area and surrounding counties generally. So, if you are located in the Western part of the state you may be better served by contacting a local attorney. In any event I would be happy to speak with you. Thank you.
