If you have been injured at your apartment or other rental property, your landlord may be liable for damages. An attorney can help you determine what kinds of damages are covered by your landlord's insurance. Basically, landlords are responsible for making sure that you are aware of any potentially hazardous conditions on the property and they must act promptly to make them safe. They should have someone evaluate the property to make sure conditions are safe for tenants. Landlords must also make it clear what portions of the property are off-limits to its tenants. Many landlords however do not claim responsibility for lost or stolen property and usually advise each tenant to buy renter's insurance to insure their personal property.
