Windsor Green Owners Association Sued

Free Case Evaluation

Windsor Green Owners Association SuedTheresa and Doug Emminger filed a lawsuit against Windsor Green Owners Association on Monday over a fire that occured in their condominium complex on April 12, 2018.

According to the lawsuit, the family suffered injuries and damages from the fire. They said that the building didn’t have a fire alarm system, sprinkler system, a secondary means of egress, and that their condo didn’t have an escape ladder.

“Horry County Fire Investigators determined that the fire originated on the second floor exterior breezeway in the Plaintiffs’ building at or around the light fixture outside of unit 201,” states the lawsuit. “The breezeway, light fixture, and light bulb were located in a common area and exclusively controlled, inspected, and/or maintained by Defendant Windsor Green and/or Defendant Benchmark and its employees.”

Fire Investigator James Cyganiewicz said that there was too much damage to know what actually caused the fire.

“From the facts gathered at the scene, my training and experience, witness statements, it is the opinion of this investigator that the origin of this fire was on the 2nd floor exterior breezeway in the area of the unit 201. Due to extensive damage and lack of physical evidence, the exact fire cause is undetermined. This fire has been classified as undetermined,” the Windsor Green fire report said.

This isn’t the first time a fire has occurred at the complex. In March 2013, 30 buildings and more than 100 residential units were destroyed by a fire. After the fire, approximately 26 buildings were reconstructed to include fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems and a secondary means of egress.

However, this plaintiffs in this lawsuit said that their building was one of the few buildings that wasn’t reconstructed to comply with local fire and building codes after the 2013 fire.

The family is seeking compensation for physical injuries, loss of enjoyment of life, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering and several other damages.

To say that I am happy with the outcome of my case is the understatement of the century! Jill Stanley is a BEAST at what she does.  That is the only way to explain it. She takes no prisoners. She and her team are very skilled and knowledgeable.  I am so happy I trusted them to do their job and rolled with Jill's suggestions. I would choose Jill again 100 times. She settled my case for more than I imagined I would receive. I was literally in tears. It is the best feeling to know my pain isn't for naught. Wayne Cohen and Kristopher Yorke were nothing short of amazing. They have the patience of saints. I'm 100% certain that I got on their last nerves with my frustration and tears at every other call I had with them. Being in pain and wanting to just be able to heal was all I could focus on, but they helped me realize that I also had to focus on the bigger picture (the case) so I could put this piece behind me. As a high-strung individual with anxiety, it was hard for me to not worry and let them do their jobs, but they reassured me all of the time that they had this. To be injured before the start of the pandemic and have to receive regular, weekly treatment while others are able to stay home is anxiety inducing. I was in pain, I was anxious, and I was just hoping it all worked out. It more than worked out.  I hope Jill, Siri, and Kris know how much their hard work and "hanging in there" meant to me. I am eternally grateful. I can't recommend you all enough. If you choose this law firm, you won't be sorry!
