Re: apartment requirements for handicap

Did he fracture his hip as a result of walking in his apartment complex. If so he may have a claim. The apartment complex is most likely a covered facility that needs to comply with the ADA you should speak with an attorney to contact the apartment if they are not upto compliance. If you would like to discuss this further you can contact me at my office.
