Many people are injured from dangerous conditions  found in single-family homes, apartment buildings, office buildings, shopping centers, public sidewalks and streets. Such dangerous conditions, also known as defects may include displaced manholes found on sidewalks, lead paint found in homes, ceiling tiles falling down on customers in shopping centers or dangerous conditions found on construction sites.  

The lawyers at Turbin Chu have successfully prosecuted many cases where clients have been seriously injured because of dangerous conditions caused by careless landowners. For example lawyer Richard Turbin won over one million dollars for a meter tester for Hawaiian Electric who injured her back after falling into an open manhole while servicing electric meters in a Honolulu neighborhood. Turbin Chu also successfully settled a case where a shopper fell down a flight of stores in a large office supply warehouse.

The law requires property owners to maintain safe conditions in their homes or business premises. They must also warn of dangerous conditions and perform regular safety inspections.  Every city has a building code which requires compliance with safety standards and regulations. Shopping centers, factories, and streets and highways are also covered by safety standards.
