What is “Premises Liability”

Premises liability is the area of law that determines if a property owner, manager, or occupier is responsible when others are hurt on their property.

New York’s premises liability laws say property owners have a duty to keep their property reasonably safe for visitors and have a duty to warn visitors of any known dangers on the property. To be successful in a premises liability case, you must prove:

1. The property owner breach their duty of care
2. A causal relationship between the negligence and the accident
3. That you suffered injury or harm due to the negligence

Can You Sue for Injuries Sustained on Another’s Property?

Yes, and you should use an experienced slip and fall attorney to help you.

Rest assured, our team of slip and fall litigators has been working in the industry for decades, so you can be confident that our assessment is accurate.

When Should I Hire a Premises Liability Lawyer?

As soon as you can after the accident, and not more than 90 days after your accident if your injury occurred on municipal property.  

Property owners and insurance companies will predictably contact you soon after the incident. Expect a call from an agent or claims adjuster. They will ask you to provide a recorded statement. Do not do this until you have legal representation.

You may also be offered a quick lump-sum settlement. That money is not likely the fair value of your injuries. You want an attorney to help you recover for all your damages – past, present, and future pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
