HACLA Owner Managed Property Accident Injury Lawyer

The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles is known as HACLA. This government entity is responsible for administering the Section 8 housing program, or Housing Choice Voucher Program, that subsidizes rent for low-income residents in the community. But it is vital to understand that while the government entity is providing the subsidy for the rent, the property is owned by an individual, and in this case, the owner is also managing the property. What that means for a tenant of the HACLA owner managed property is that there is no management company to make repairs, nor is there a management company that could be responsible if the repairs are not completed, and you suffer an injury incident at your rental property due to owner negligence.

As a renter who is living in a rental home or property, if you suffered a slip and fall, trip and fall, were hurt by a falling object, or endured other injuries because of a lack of care and maintenance that was to be provided by the owner, the team at Normandie Law Firm is here to provide you with the legal guidance needed to get the help and compensation that is owed to you for the harm you sustained. All you need to do is pick up the phone and reach out to our office staff, who are available to take your call 24/7.

You will never be asked to leave a message and wait for a call back or speak to an answering service. Instead, you will be immediately connected to a staff member who can provide you with basic information and hope for a positive and swift resolution to this matter. In addition, the expert you speak to will provide all the details on scheduling your free consultation with a seasoned HACLA owner managed property accident injury lawyer. You can even book the appointment on your initial call to our office if that is what works best for you.

During your free consultation with your personal injury tenant lawyer, you will relate the facts of your injury incident and the harm that you have suffered because of the issue at the property. It is possible that your tenant layer will also have additional questions to ensure they fully understand the incident and all the details, Once they are fully briefed on the incident, they will provide you with a complete evaluation of the legal merit of the case and your ability to pursue legal action to secure any compensation owed to you for harm caused by property owner or property management staff negligence.

Please also understand that even after gaining all of this free and helpful information and guidance, you are never obligated to file a personal injury lawsuit against the property owner, nor are you required to hire Normandie Law Firm to handle this matter for you. Our only goal in providing this information to personal injury victims is to ensure they have the resources and opportunity to use the legal system to protect themselves from costly debt and losses caused by negligence. All our firm asks is that you reach out to our caring and helpful office team today, as there is a time limit for you to take legal action that might be shorter than you would expect and could prevent you from securing the compensation you deserve if you wait too long to take action.

Common Safety Hazards Found At HACLA Owner Managed Properties
While you might feel that your home is a nice place to live, is in a great location, and meets many of your needs, it is not uncommon for a rental property to have issues from time to time that can compromise the safety and security of the property. When you report these issues to the manager of the property or the owner, you have the right to expect that they get swift attention and are corrected to restore the safety of your home. Sadly, that is not always the case. Many renters living in HACLA properties face common yet unresolved safety hazards that can include:

• Water leaks that create slippery and unsafe conditions can also promote the growth of toxic black mold
• Damaged flooring surfaces or pavement surfaces that create trip and fall hazards
• Damage to the yard or landscaped areas creates hard to see holes in the soil that pose a trip and fall hazard
• Lights, signage, fixtures, or even cabinetry that are not correctly attached to the walls or ceiling and can create a safety issue when the item falls on a tenant
• Loose, damaged, or missing safety handrails at steps or ramps that increase the hazards of using these essential features in the home
• Loose or damaged wiring, electrical outlets, or appliances that pose a significant risk of an electrical shock, electrical burn, or even electrocution

These are only some of the hazards that can be discovered in a rental property that must be quickly corrected by the owner or property manager to ensure the safety of the tenants in the space and any other guests who could visit the property.

Common Injuries Suffered By HACLA Owner Managed Property Injury Victims
Nothing is worse than the thought of suffering a severe injury in your own home. However, that is precisely what can occur when you are living in a rental property that is supposed to be cared for or maintained in a safe condition by the property owner, who is also the property manager. What should be a safe environment for you and your loved ones can be very dangerous when the space is not receiving the necessary repairs and care to maintain a reasonable level of safety. The outcome is often a resident who becomes a personal injury victim and suffers one or more of these potentially life-altering or even life-threatening injuries:

• Damage to the back, neck, or spinal cord
• Harm to the delicate skin on the face or to the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
• Partial or complete amputations
• Dislocated joints and the destruction of the soft connective tissue of the joint
• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Severe contact, electrical burns, or electrical shocks
• Puncture wounds or severe lacerations that can include damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Head injuries that can consist of a skull fracture, severe concussion, brain bleed, or other traumatic brain injuries

When Is The HACLA Property Owner Responsible For My Injuries?
According to premises liability law, all private and public property owners are required to maintain their properties in a safe and hazard-free condition. The lengthy obligations of property owners defined in premises liability law were created to ensure the safety of the general public and all guests to any property they do not own. Duty of care is an aspect of premises liability law that focuses on the required actions of the property owner or property manager when an issue is discovered on the property by the staff or reported by a guest or tenant.

Duty of care required the property owner or manager to provide at least the same level of care and attention to correct the issue as would be provided by the average prudent person when facing a similar problem. For example, if a water line is leaking in your home, you would quickly repair it to prevent any victims of a slip and fall injury incident. That is what is expected of the owner or manager of a HACLA rental property.

If the staff or owner fails to take the appropriate action to correct the safety issue in a reasonable time frame, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to the injuries of the resident or a guest to the property, the owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses of the injury victim due to the incident. If you feel that the property owner and manager failed to provide the needed care and caused or contributed to the hazard that caused your injuries, please contact Normandie Law Firm immediately to discuss your options with a tenant’s personal injury lawyer.

What Is The Average Value Of A HACLA Owner Managed Property Accident Injury Lawsuit?
It is essential for personal injury victims to understand that while there is always an average amount for any group of numbers being evaluated, in the case of a personal injury lawsuit, the average will have no impact on the amount of compensation you could receive for your case. It is also critical to know that there are no predetermined compensation amounts awarded by the court based on the injuries or accident that caused them. Instead, each case is carefully and independently evaluated, and the compensation is calculated based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim.

Working with your Normandie Law Firm legal team and HACLA owner managed property accident injury lawyer, you will compile all the documentation needed to verify the allowable expenses you face because of your injuries. The items that are most commonly used in this process include, but are not always strictly limited to:

• The replacement cost of a personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the incident
• Your legal expenses and fees related to preparing, filing, and litigating the personal injury lawsuit
• All medical expenses related to the treatment and rehabilitation of your injuries, as well as any emotional care or therapy needed ot address the trauma and stress of the incident and your injuries
• Your lost income if the harm suffered in the injury incident prevented you from working at your regular job until you were fully healed and cleared by your medical care professionals to return  to the duties of that job

How Long Do I Have To File My Lawsuit?
As the victim of personal injuries in California, you have two years from the date of the injury incident to file your case with the court. This time limit is strictly enforced, and once it has expired, there are very limited exceptions that would provide you with added time to pursue legal action related to this matter. Please make time today to get in touch with the legal staff at Normandie Law Firm to discuss your case and the time remaining for you to file a lawsuit.
