If you’ve been assaulted or attacked at an apartment complex, there are specific steps you should take to both take care of yourself now and enhance your chances of getting justice and compensation in the future.

Seek Medical Attention
If you’ve been assaulted or attacked at an apartment complex, there are specific steps you should take to both take care of yourself now and enhance your chances of getting justice and compensation in the future. Do these steps in the order that makes the most sense to you based on the severity of your injuries.
Even if your injuries seem minor, you should seek medical attention as soon as you can. Your injuries may be worse than you expect, and if you hope to recover financial compensation down the road, you need to have proof that you were actually injured, and medical records are the best proof you can provide.
Collect Evidence
Get pictures or videos of the scene of the attack, especially anything that could show negligence, like broken lights or cameras. Keep any torn or bloody clothing (better yet, give that to the police when you file the report).
File a Police Report
Even if you don’t know who attacked you and feel like you don’t have much evidence, you should still file a police report. Not only is that the only chance the person who hurt you will face consequences, but it also helps prove in court that you were attacked at the apartment complex.

How Can an Apartment Be Held Responsible for an Assault?
Apartment managers and owners owe their tenants and invited guests to their property a duty of care to protect them from foreseeable crimes. If they could have done more to foresee and prevent your attack, they may be held responsible for your injuries.
What to Do After Being Attacked in an Apartment Complex
After being attacked at an apartment complex, you should:
- File a police report
- Seek medical attention
- Get photo or video evidence of negligent security
