Apartment Complex Liability Attorneys

If you were injured at an apartment complex due to hazardous conditions, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.

Owners and managers of apartment complexes are required to provide a reasonably safe environment for their tenants and other guests who visit the property.

Landlords have a legal duty of care which includes maintaining the property in a safe condition to prevent injuries and criminal attacks.

Various types of injuries can occur at apartment buildings just as they can on any property. These injuries fall under the legal concept of premises liability. That means you can file a civil suit against a negligent property owner for damages when you are injured due to the owner’s carelessness.

Can I Bring a Premises Liability Case?

If you think you may be eligible to bring a premises liability case, ask these questions about your accident:

  • Were you legally on property owned by someone other than you or a member of your immediate family?
  • Could your accident have been prevented, either through proper maintenance or clear warnings about the hazard?
  • Did your injuries send you to the hospital, cause you to miss work, and lead to other losses?

Anyone who answered “yes” to all three should speak with a lawyer to determine their next steps.

Did the Landlord Owe Me a Duty of Care?

Florida residents who have suffered an injury at an apartment complex due to the negligent actions of another qualify to file a lawsuit against that party or their insurance company.

The plaintiff will have to prove the following to win the case:

  • The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care, meaning a legal obligation to act with care for the plaintiff’s health
  • The defendant breached this duty of care, such as leaving snow or ice in the parking lot or failing to provide adequate security
  • The defendant’s negligence led to the plaintiff’s injury, such as by slipping on the ice or being hurt by someone trespassing on the property
  • The defendant’s negligence resulted in losses, such as medical debt, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, and more

If the plaintiff is successful in proving all the above elements, they will be awarded compensation in the amount of their losses, or damages.
