Our lawyers can review your case to determine whether the landlord was negligent in his or her duty to maintain the property in a safe condition. This type of personal injury lawsuit is known as a premise liability case, and is based on the fact that property owners have a legal duty to keep their property reasonably safe for those who are lawfully present on the property—as a renter, you have the right to expect that the property surrounding your apartment is reasonably safe to prevent injuries.
