Premises Liability
New York Premises Liability Attorney
Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe and secure property conditions at all times. Visitors, guests, and patrons should not have to fear for their safety every time they go to a restaurant, building, parking lot, shopping mall, apartment complex, grocery store, etc. When an individual is injured or killed as the result of unsafe, hazardous, or poorly maintained property conditions, the property owner may be held liable for damages under New York’s premises liability laws. If you have been injured in a premises liability accident, you are legally entitled to seek compensation for your pain, suffering, medical costs, rehabilitation, psychological distress, financial hardship, lost wages, and any other expenses that arise after the accident.
In order to win a premises liability lawsuit, the victim must prove that the property owner acted negligently and is at fault for the accident. There are a number of circumstances that could lead to a premises liability accident, such as:
- Poor lighting
- Wet or slippery floors
- Broken or weak stairs or handrails
- Torn or ratted carpets
- Falling objects
- Objects blocking walkways
- Exposed holes or ditches
