An apartment injury can describe any physical injury, illness or emotional trauma that arises from an accident inside your apartment, the apartment building or a common area on the premises. Apartment injuries fall under the umbrella of premises liability law in Massachusetts. Premises liability law holds the owner or controller of a property responsible for the safety of a property. Failing to meet this responsibility, resulting in tenant injuries, is negligence. If you or your lawyer can prove negligence during your apartment injury claim, you might receive compensation from your landlord.
An apartment complex with a negligent or careless landlord could contain many dangers to tenants. Defects in an apartment’s structure or habitability could cause a serious injury.
