Your Injury Advocate In Austin And Across Central Texas

Apartment Injury Lawyer In Austin, Texas

Last updated on May 5, 2026

When you are hurt because a landlord ignored a safety issue, you deserve a neighborly hand to help you pick up the pieces. However, Texas premises liability law is strict about proving what a landlord knew before an accident. 

My name is Matthew Shrum, and at The Law Office of Matthew Shrum, PLLC, I treat your recovery as my top priority. I have 20 years of experience fighting for injured neighbors across Austin and Travis County. 

Why Apartment Owners Are Responsible For Your Safety 

In Austin, where over 55% of residents rent their homes, property managers have a legal duty of care to keep common areas safe. Many residents suffer because of landlord negligence, including: 

  • Slip-and-fall apartment complex incidents on oily garage floors or wet lobby tiles 
  • Broken stairs injury cases caused by rotted wood or loose handrails 
  • Poor lighting can cause accidents in dark hallways or parking lots 
  • Balcony collapse injuries and railing failures due to negligent maintenance 

As an apartment accident lawyer Austin residents trust, I understand that even a simple fix like a lightbulb or a sturdy bolt is a strategic move that saves lives. 

Who Can Be Held Liable For Your Injuries? 

Liability often falls on several parties in apartment complex injury claims, such as:

  • Out-of-state property owners who ignore local tenant rights 
  • Management companies that skip safety inspections to save money 
  • Third-party security providers who fail to monitor gates or cameras 

My firm pushes insurance companies to take your claim seriously. 

Recovering Compensation 

I aggressively pursue the full value of your losses, which often include: 

  • Past and future medical expenses for surgeries or therapy 
  • Paychecks you missed while you were unable to work 
  • Physical pain and emotional suffering caused by the trauma 

Having a local Austin premises liability attorney like me by your side helps ensure every deadline is met and every piece of evidence is preserved.
