Do I need a lawyer to file a personal injury lawsuit against my landlord?



Since personal injury laws can be complicated, the answer to this question would be yes. For one, you will want to get professional help on how to file a personal injury lawsuit against landlord. Getting professional legal help not only speeds up the process in terms of evidence and data collection but also increases chances of favorable results for your case. Of course, before you file for a personal injury lawsuit, it is a must to thoroughly study about the laws that pertain to this subject. For one, it is important that you know that landlords will only be liable for tenant injury if they are negligent in the maintenance of repair of the property and that this negligence caused the tenant’s injuries directly.
For instance, if the landlord did not have the walkway to your home fixed even after you have properly informed him/her of the damage, and you are injured because of this, you can file a lawsuit against your landlord. There are various other situations wherein the landlord’s liability for the rental tenant injury will arise. For example, if a tenant’s personal property is damaged due to the roof leak that the landlord has failed to have repaired, if the landlord was not able to repair a door lock in the unit rental that led to a theft in the property of the tenant or if the tenant became ill due to lack of sanitary maintenance of the area. If you are tenant who experienced any of these or any other similar predicament, be sure to contact a personal injury lawyer immediately.
