Apartment Assault
A landlord can be held liable for a sexual assault that occurs in an apartment, a common area or a parking lot under certain circumstances. In one of our recent cases, a woman was sexually assaulted in her apartment by an intruder. The landlord had not fixed a broken lock, which allowed the intruder an entry into the apartment.
Apartment assault law is quite complex. Claims against landlords can be based on statutory law, contractual obligations, or a common law theory of reliance of security. You will need a lawyer to carefully consider the facts of your case and apply those facts to the law. A good lawyer will develop various arguments for landlord liability.
If you were sexually assaulted (or otherwise assaulted) in your apartment, an apartment common area or an apartment parking garage, your lawyer will investigate to determine if others in addition to your landlord can be held liable for your injuries. For example, if the landlord hired a private security company, that company may be liable.
