Apartment Complex Slip-and-Fall Injuries
At some point in their lives, every individual may suffer a slip-and-fall injury. The person may only experience minor bumps and bruises that have little overall effect on their health, or they may suffer serious injuries that require immediate medical attention. If the accident was caused by negligence, recklessness, or a failure on the part of another person, the injured party may be eligible for compensation for medical bills, pain, suffering, and other damages.
Apartment complex managers, maintenance staff, and other employees are usually responsible for the maintenance of common areas and public spaces. If a person suffers injury due to negligence on the part of the apartment complex staff, he or she may have cause to pursue a premises liability lawsuit. If you would like to know more about premises liability, contact the Pennsylvania slip-and-fall attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511.
Causes of Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Accidents may be caused by:
- Poorly maintained staircases and entryways
- Liquid spills on sidewalks, staircases, and walkways
- Debris and objects left in parking lots
- Furniture and other items obstructing leasing office walkways
- Poor traction on high-traffic surfaces
- Worn carpet and hazardous flooring
Apartment complex managers and maintenance staff should be sure to establish a routine maintenance schedule to take care of issues that arise in common areas and spaces open to the public. In addition, hazards and dangers should be clearly marked with warning signs to make sure injuries do not occur.
