Whether you are a resident of an apartment complex or an invited guest at one, you would expect such a location to be safe and welcoming. When someone neglects their duties and does not properly care for the property, accidents and injuries can occur. 

 

If that sounds like an experience you or a loved one experienced, Trujillo & Sanchez, P.C. could help. An Irving apartment accident lawyer can help you pursue compensation and hold negligent parties accountable. 

Common Apartment Complex Accidents That Could Qualify You for Damages

Many accidents occur in apartment complexes. Our lawyers can help you get justice—no matter what you have experienced. Slip and fall accidents are common in apartment complexes and can be caused by a variety of factors, including: 

 

  • Improperly cleaned floors
  • Poorly lit stairwells
  • Uneven sidewalks

 

Slip and fall accidents can cause all sorts of injuries, from sprains to traumatic brain injuries. They can be especially dangerous for older people, who can break their hips and end up with mobility problems for the rest of their lives. A broken hip can even result in death in some cases. 

 

Additionally, landlords and complex owners can and should be held accountable for other types of injuries and ailments caused by their negligence. Other types of apartment complex cases can include suits related to: 

 

  • Mold, asbestos, and other damaging environmental factors
  • Elevator accidents
  • Parking garage dangers
  • Insufficient security

Pursuing Compensation After an Accident

If you think that the negligence of the building owner or another party caused your injury, you could pursue compensation. An accident in an apartment complex can cause all sorts of injuries. This includes accidents that have lasting effects that will continue to alter your lifestyle in the years to come. This often means that bills will pile up, causing financial stress on top of everything else. 

A financial award could help you deal with your expenses and adjust to changes in your life caused by your injuries. There are multiple types of damages to pursue and many ways that your compensation can help make you whole again. 

Generally, damages are broken down into economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover costs that are more quantifiable, like bills. Non-economic costs can cover those things that are hard to pin a number value on, like pain and suffering. Compensation can help you cover a variety of expenses stemming from your accident, including: 

Medical Costs

The initial hospital bills and doctor visits are to worry about, but some apartment complex injuries can also require continued treatment and cause additional expenses. Whether you have to worry about the costs of prescription medications or physical therapy, your compensation can help. 

Lost Wages

If your injuries keep you out of work for a while, those missed paychecks are sure to be felt by your family. The last thing you need in this trying time is additional financial stress, so your compensation should help you cover those lost wages as well. 

Loss of Earning Potential

Sometimes injuries from an apartment complex accident can leave behind lasting damage, disfigurements, and disabilities. Your accident might prevent you from working in the same field or the same capacity. Similarly, you might not be able to work as many hours. Your loss of earning potential should be considered when compensation is calculated. 

Pain and Suffering

Any other pain and suffering experienced by you and your family should also be kept in mind when damages are being negotiated in an apartment complex accident case. 

Wrongful Death Damages

In those tragic cases where someone passes due to injuries sustained in an apartment complex accident, some surviving family members could pursue wrongful death damages. Per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 71.004, surviving spouses, children, and parents of the deceased can sue for wrongful death damages.
