Can a landlord be liable for an injury in my apartment complex?

Often, for common areas like stairways, parking lots and pools, and for known hazards the landlord was responsible for repairing.

Can a business be liable if I was assaulted on its property?

In some cases. If similar crimes made an attack foreseeable and the owner failed to provide reasonable security, a negligent security claim may be possible.

What if I was partly careless?

Most states reduce your compensation by your share of fault rather than barring the claim. See comparative fault.

How long do I have to file a premises liability claim?

Usually your state's personal injury deadline. Claims involving government property often require notice much sooner.

Do I need to report the injury to the owner?

Yes. Report it promptly, ask for a written incident report, and keep a copy.
