Common Condo Hazards

When the HOA Fails to Keep You Safe

Hallandale Beach is defined by its beautiful high-rises and condo communities. Residents pay significant monthly association fees with the expectation that the building will be maintained, secure, and safe.

Unfortunately, many Condo Boards and Property Management companies cut corners to save money. They delay elevator repairs, ignore leaks in the lobby, or fail to fix broken security gates. When these decisions lead to an injury, Fenstersheib Law Group steps in to hold the insurance carriers accountable.

Where Condo Injuries Happen Most

The Lobby & Hallways

The Hazard: Polished marble floors are deadly when wet. If the AC is leaking or if maintenance mopped without a “Wet Floor” sign, slip and falls are almost guaranteed.

Elevators

The Hazard: Mis-leveling (where the car stops 2 inches above/below the floor) causes severe trip and falls. Sudden drops can cause spinal compression injuries.

Pool Decks & Common Areas

The Hazard: Broken tiles, loose handrails, or inadequate lighting in stairwells. These are “deferred maintenance” issues that the HOA ignored.

Negligent Security

The Hazard: If the parking gate is broken or the “doorman” is asleep, criminals can enter. If you are assaulted on the property, the HOA may be liable for failing to protect you.

The “Paper Trail” Strategy

Proving an HOA is at fault requires digging into their records. We subpoena the documents they don’t want you to see:

  • Board Meeting Minutes: Did they discuss fixing the elevator 6 months ago but voted “no” to save money? That proves negligence.
  • Maintenance Logs: How often are the common areas inspected?
  • Prior Complaints: Did other residents complain about the slippery tiles before you fell?

Don’t Worry About Your Neighbors: Many people hesitate to sue because they don’t want to hurt their neighbors. The reality is that we are suing the multi-million dollar insurance policy the building already purchased for exactly this reason.

Condo Injury FAQs

Can the HOA evict me if I sue them?
No. Retaliation for filing a legitimate personal injury claim is illegal. You have a right to be compensated for injuries caused by their negligence, regardless of whether you are an owner or a renter.
What if I fell inside my own unit?
Generally, the HOA is responsible for “common elements” (lobby, roof, pipes inside walls), while you are responsible for the interior of your unit. However, if a roof leak caused your floor to become wet and you slipped, the HOA may still be liable.
Who pays for my medical bills?
The Condominium Association’s General Liability insurance policy is designed to cover these costs. We fight to ensure they pay the full amount for your medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
