What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
About 2 Months ago a fire was started on the balcony of our apartment. Reports from the fire department determined that the fire was caused by embers from a cigarette falling through a crack near the patio edge. This caused a small fire which damaged the supports for the patio, which in turn had to be repaired, for a grand total of $2,419.28. I noticed later, after our balcony had been repaired, that other balconies in the complex were being repaired, due to rotten support beams. I'm certain that our balcony had the same problems as these other balconies, but the problem was not known until our balcony had burned down. I also theorize that the fire would not have started had the support beam for our balcony been properly maintained. Do I have any chance of winning this case, or am I just stuck with the bill?
