Apartment Fire in Lewisville Leave Several Families Temporarily Homeless

Last Saturday, a three-alarm fire destroyed a Lewisville apartment complex and forced several families and individuals to find hotel rooms and other lodgings. By the time local firefighters put out the blaze 24 units had been damaged and 18 tenants had been displaced. Current investigations into the cause of the fire include whether the apartment complex appropriately safeguarded citizens and their belongings.

The fire safety of apartment complexes is important. Your landlord is obligated to protect you against unsafe living conditions, including an unreasonable risk of fire. If you’re concerned about the safety of your apartment complex or if you’ve been displaced by an apartment fire, you might have a legal cause of action against the property owner and apartment complex management firm.
