Common Causes of Apartment Complex Injuries

Injuries at apartment complexes often result from preventable hazards. Manoukian Law Firm, P.C. investigates each case thoroughly to identify the cause and establish liability. Common issues include:

  • Slip and fall accidents: Wet floors, broken staircases, uneven sidewalks, or poor lighting in hallways and parking areas
  • Negligent security: Unlocked gates, broken locks, or lack of surveillance leading to assaults or theft
  • Structural defects: Collapsing ceilings, faulty balconies, or deteriorating flooring
  • Swimming pool accidents: Lack of fencing, broken gates, or failure to supervise common pool areas
  • Dog bites: Attacks by pets known to be dangerous or improperly restrained
  • Exposure to toxic substances: Mold, lead paint, or gas leaks due to poor maintenance

Each case is supported by evidence such as maintenance records, tenant complaints, inspection reports, and expert analysis.

  • They failed to repair or warn about the hazard
  • Their negligence directly caused the injury

Liability may also extend to:

  • Property management companies responsible for day-to-day operations

Proving Negligence in Apartment Injury Cases

Establishing negligence requires careful documentation and legal strategy. The firm builds strong cases by:

  • Collecting photographs and video evidence of the hazard
  • Reviewing tenant complaints and maintenance logs
  • Interviewing witnesses and neighbors
  • Consulting with engineers, safety experts, and medical professionals
  • Demonstrating that the property owner failed to act reasonably

In cases involving prior complaints or building code violations, the firm uses those records to strengthen the claim and demonstrate a pattern of neglect.
