Have You Been Injured Due To Landlord Negligence?

Landlord Negligence occurs when landlords or supers neglect their duty in maintaining their property. Landlords who own and manage property have a responsibility to you. It is not uncommon for landlords or supers to neglect this duty and have inadequate security or dangerous conditions on their premises. The Law Offices of Mark E. Weinberger represent victims of inadequate security and landlord negligence.

To be held responsible for an injury on the premises, the landlord or property manager must have been negligent in maintaining the property, and that negligence must have caused the injury. All of the following must be proven for a landlord to be held liable:

• It was the landlord’s responsibility to maintain the portion of premises that caused the accident.
• The landlord failed to take reasonable steps to avert the accident.
• Fixing the problem (or at least giving adequate warnings) would not have been unreasonably expensive or difficult.
• A serious injury was the probable consequence of not fixing the problem (the accident was foreseeable).
• The landlord’s failure — his negligence — caused the tenant’s accident.
• The tenant was genuinely hurt.

Our job is to protect you from them, preserve your rights & see that you get the MAXIMUM amount for your injuries.
