Are you the victim of property owner negligence?

Have you been hurt in a New York City slip and fall? Were you injured on broken subway stairs? Did you trip on a hole in the sidewalk? Are you the victim of a negligent landlord? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you may have a New York premises liability claim.

Slips, trips, and falls can be comical in the movies, but in real life these accidents are no laughing matter. If you have been seriously injured in a slip and fall accident, then your life has changed completely. You may be dealing with chronic physical pain, on-going medical treatment and therapy, or permanent disability. You may be unable to work, yet you now have numerous medical bills. Where can you turn for help?

The law is on your side.

Slip and fall injuries fit into a larger category of personal injuries known as premises liability injuries. Premises liability describes the legal duty of a property owner to maintain his property in a safe condition. If a property owner fails to fulfill this obligation and an individual sustains injuries, then the owner may be liable. Injuries most commonly covered by premises liability law are slips, trips, and falls caused by poor maintenance or negligence, including poor lighting, cracks and holes, slippery floors, and broken steps. However, premises liability covers other injuries as well, such as slipping on snow and ice, elevator accidents, or even crimes due to inadequate security.

Are you the victim of property owner negligence?

Premises liability laws protect the public on virtually every type of property, including sidewalks, streets, apartment buildings, supermarkets, retail stores, train stations, restaurants, clubs, bars, banks, government and city buildings, and parks. If you have been injured because of the negligence of a New York City building or property owner, then you have the right to file a premises liability claim. However, you must be able to prove that the negligence of the owner caused your injury.
