Hundreds of people have fallen or died at apartment complexes. These accidents can be caused by the negligence of a landlord. The common types of accidents that can occur at an apartment complex are slip and fall injuries that have resulted in a serious injury or death, or tenants falling from a defective balcony that also resulted in severe injuries or death. If you have suffered injuries due to a fall in an apartment complex, or if you lost a loved one due to a fall accident, contact an attorney today.

Premises Liability

If you have suffered injuries due to a fall at an apartment complex then an appropriate claim to bring is a premises liability lawsuit. To succeed in a premises liability lawsuit you will need to prove the following:

You were injured;
The injury resulted in the fall; and
The landlord’s negligence caused your injury.
Wrongful Death

If you lost a loved one due to a fall injury or if your loved one died due to the negligence of the landlord at an apartment complex then an appropriate claim to bring is a wrongful death lawsuit. To succeed in a wrongful death lawsuit, you will need to prove that your loved one’s death was caused by the result of the negligence by the landlord of the apartment complex; that you, the family member, suffered a financial loss from the result of the death; and that you are eligible to seek the damages from the wrongful death claim. To prove that you are eligible, you need to prove that you are a surviving family member or beneficiary of your loved one, such as a parent, child or spouse.

Who Can I Sue?

Under Texas law, the general rule states that a landlord is not responsible for the safety of its tenants. However, there are several exceptions to this rule. Landlords can be held responsible for accidents that occur at their apartment complex. They have a duty to keep their tenants safe. If a landlord fails to keep the property safe, then the landlord can be held liable and a lawsuit can be filed against them. If you are unsure if you have a claim against your landlord, contact an experienced attorney to discuss your matter.
