My landlord doesn't do a very good job at maintaining the building where I live. It always takes several calls to the building manager before I can get any repairs made. After contacting him for nearly three months about the broken handrail in the stair going down to the laundry room, the worst possible thing happened. I fell down the stairs while going to do my laundry. I fell because the handrail broke loose and caused me to lose my footing and fall down an entire flight of stairs. I had to hire a personal injury lawyer to help me force this man to pay for my medical expenses. My site can help you if you are going through something similar.
