Assaulted by a Landlord – Building Manager Lawsuit Attorney

It is illegal for landlords to harass, intimidate, or engage in other threatening behavior against their tenants. This includes shoving, slapping, or kicking a tenant, throwing something at them, or taking other actions that can cause bodily harm. Thus, if you suffered injuries from being assaulted by your landlord, you have the right to file a lawsuit for monetary damages.

If you are someone that lives in an apartment complex, you would generally deal with a leasing company or property management firm. In that case, you may have been assaulted by your building manager or another employee of the management company. If so, you are probably asking yourself, “Can I sue the owner of the building or apartment complex?”

Yes, you may have grounds to sue the building owner, which could be an individual, group of individuals, or a corporate entity. However, there are cases where liability for injuries to another party is split between the owner and building management. This is something you should verify with a lawyer right away, as it will determine who you can go after in an assault and battery lawsuit.

The renters’ rights lawyers of DTLA have decades of experience in disputes involving tenants and landlords, including incidents of physical assault. We can also represent you in a case for any other form of tenant harassment and illegal eviction, such as:

• Locking you out of your apartment
• Late night or frequent phone calls to harass / intimate you
• Cutting off utilities (heat, water, or electric)
• Refusing to make necessary repairs
• Causing hazards, noise disruptions, and construction problems
• Misinform or misleads you about your rights under the law or the terms of your lease

Being assaulted can have a devastating impact on your body, due to the possible injuries that may be inflicted by the perpetrator. The risk of serious harm is greater when you are attacked with a weapon, like a baseball bat, knife or firearm. However, even a punch or shove can result in one or more of the following:

• Fracturas y fracturas óseas
• Deep cuts, scratches, and puncture marks
• Daños en los órganos internos
• Disfigurement (broken facial bones, permanent scars, etc.)
• Lesión cerebral traumática
• Dental damage – lost or damaged teeth, broken jaw
• Articulaciones dislocadas
• Lesión cervical y/o medular

These injuries can lead to permanent health complications, including brain damage and paralysis. Immediate medical attention is critical to ensuring the best possible recovery. However, there’s no denying that recovery comes at a cost. This is why monetary compensation is so important to anyone that’s been harmed by someone else’s negligence or misconduct. For a detailed discussion on your rights and legal options, call us and speak to a lawyer with experience in assault and battery lawsuits.

Many people wonder if it’s worth it to hire a lawyer when they have been wronged by a negligent party. There’s nothing in the laws that require you to find legal representation. However, we can tell you that assault and battery lawsuits are complex legal actions. Gathering evidence, filing your paperwork on time, negotiating with the insurance company – these are just some of the tasks that can make the process overwhelming for most accident victims.
