New York Roof Collapse Injury Lawyers. Building Roof tops are designed to protect the inhabitants of the building. A properly installed and maintained roof keeps out wind, rain, vermin and human intruders.
In addition, a gazebo or car-port style roof protects inhabitants, even while the structure lacks walls. A roof top of this type is more vulnerable to damage from high winds and bad weather.
