A three-alarm fire engulfed eight apartment units in
Grapevine earlier this week, injuring one resident when he was forced to escape
the blaze. While the cause of the fire remains uncertain, what is certain is
that this accident raises questions about just how safe the apartment complex
really was – and whether the landlord or management company appropriately
guarded against the risk of fire.
Personal injuries happen every day and in a variety of ways,
but one of the most tragic is when they happen in the home. Although a state laws
and municipal ordinances are supposed to keep tenants safe, these rules are
only effective when landlords comply with them. Throughout the Dallas/Fort
Worth, a significant number of apartments do not comply with these regulations
and, as a result, needlessly put residents at risk of injury.
Have you been injured as a result of obvious or hidden risks
in your apartment? If so, you may be entitled to recover against the owner of
the property who is responsible for keeping the premises safe. Find out about
