What Causes Most Apartment Complex Injury Claims In The Bronx?

Unfortunately, some apartment complex owners and managers fail to take the reasonable actions necessary to keep the property safe. The most common causes of preventable injuries in apartment complex claims include the following:

Slip-and-fall accidents in parking lots, on walkways, and in lobbies
Falls on staircases due to broken risers, missing handrails, or inadequate lighting
Structure fire injuries caused by the lack of operating smoke detectors, inadequate fire extinguishers, or broken fire escapes
Balcony collapses
Ceiling collapse injuries
Elevator accidents
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Exposure to toxic chemicals
Broken appliance injuries
Injuries caused by inadequate building maintenance
Assaults and acts of violence due to insufficient security measures

Apartment complex builders must adhere to New York’s building codes, and property owners have a legal obligation to maintain the property to ensure it remains safe for residents and visitors.

What Types of Injuries Occur From Apartment Owner Negligence In The Bronx?

Although an apartment owner may not be responsible for all injuries that occur inside a resident’s apartment, they are liable for injuries that occur elsewhere in the building or for any injuries caused by insufficient building maintenance. Common injuries in Bronx apartment complex injury claims include the following:

Fractures
Soft-tissue injuries like sprains, strains, ligament tears, and tendon injuries
Back injuries
Neck injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Burns
Electrocutions
Illness from toxic exposures
Lacerations, contusions, and abrasions
Facial and dental injuries
Crush injuries
Internal organ damage
Traumatic limb loss

Even mild injuries can quickly lead to financial hardship due to lost earnings and a substantial emergency room bill. More severe or catastrophic injuries can be life-altering, with adverse consequences on earning capacity and the ability to accomplish daily routine tasks. These are the “damages” recovered in a successful premises liability claim against a negligent Bronx apartment building owner.

What Can I Get From a Bronx Apartment Injury Claim?

Compensation in Bronx premises liability claims comes from the property owner’s insurance. When a skilled attorney documents evidence and makes a compelling claim, an injury victim recovers damages such as the following:

Past and future medical expenses
Past and future lost earnings
Out-of-pocket costs
Compensation for pain and suffering
Catastrophic injury damages in some cases, such as scarring, loss of limb, loss of one of the senses, or PTSD

If a loved one died from a preventable injury resulting from property owner negligence, you could recover wrongful death compensation and a sense of justice for your loss.
