Victorville Landlord Tenant Injury Attorney

As a tenant, you place a reasonable amount of trust in your landlord to maintain your rental property in a safe, hazard-free condition fit for habitation.

When landlords fail to uphold that duty of care by allowing dangerous conditions to persist unchecked, they can be held liable for injuries suffered by tenants as a result.

If you or someone you love was injured on your Victorville rental property due to your landlord’s negligence, you may have grounds to pursue compensation with the help of a landlord tenant injury lawyer.
