Apartment complex injuries occur when property owners and management companies fail to maintain safe conditions for residents and visitors, resulting in preventable accidents that cause serious harm. Landlords have a legal responsibility to keep common areas, walkways, parking lots, and facilities in safe condition, and their negligence can lead to devastating consequences for tenants.
Common causes of apartment complex injuries include inadequate lighting in stairwells and parking areas, broken or missing handrails, cracked sidewalks and uneven pavement, poorly maintained swimming pools, defective gates and security features, and failure to address known hazards. Negligent security can also lead to assaults and criminal attacks when property owners fail to implement reasonable safety measures.
Victims of apartment complex injuries may suffer slip and falls, trip and falls, swimming pool drownings, elevator accidents, dog bites from other tenants' pets, and injuries from falling objects or structural failures. These incidents often result in broken bones, head trauma, spinal injuries, and other serious conditions requiring extensive medical treatment and time away from work.
