When Unsafe Apartments Lead to Injury, Tenants May Have Legal Recourse
Burneikis Law notes that successful claims often hinge on proving that the landlord knew-or should have known-about a dangerous condition and failed to act. "Tenants have the right to feel safe where they live," said Monica Burneikis, founder and lead attorney at Burneikis Law. "We've seen cases where urgent repairs were ignored for weeks or months, leading to injuries that never should have happened. Landlords must be held accountable when they disregard safety and put lives at risk." The blog post outlines common scenarios such as unrepaired leaks causing slip-and-fall accidents, broken entry gates leading to assaults, or exposed electrical hazards in common areas.
The burden of proving negligence can be challenging without the right legal support, which is why Burneikis Law encourages injured tenants to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible. The firm emphasizes the importance of documenting the conditions, collecting witness statements, and preserving communication records with landlords or property managers. "It's not just about compensation-it's about sending a message that tenant safety matters," Burneikis added.
For tenants who have experienced an injury in an apartment complex and suspect landlord negligence was involved, the firm's new blog post offers important guidance on taking the next steps. The article also stresses the importance of acting quickly, as California's statute of limitations on personal injury cases may limit the timeframe to file a claim.
