New York Premises Liability Attorneys

New York premises liability cases involve accidents that occur due to negligent maintenance, or unsafe and dangerous conditions upon property owned by someone other than the accident victim. Property owners and business establishments have a duty to provide a safe environment for individuals on their premises. Common situations giving rise to New York premises accidents include uneven floor surfaces, poorly marked changes in elevation, slippery surfaces, broken sidewalks, uneven elevators and broken steps.

Our New York premises liability accident lawyers have handled many types of premises liability cases. An emerging area of litigation includes claims against hotels, shopping centers and other businesses, who have a known problem with crime on their premises yet have failed to protect their customers. Many of these cases involve victims who have been severely injured, raped or even killed as a result of the business establishment failing to protect its customers from known dangers.

We have represented persons injured in department stores, restaurants, grocery stores, banks, hospitals and other buildings open to the public. In one case, our firm obtained a $600,000.00 settlement for a 40 year-old woman who tripped and fell over a door frame in a bank, after the door’s glass had shattered the night before. She required back surgery for herniated discs. In another case, a jury awarded $700,000.00 to a 6 year-old boy when a restaurant worker carrying a pot containing 50 pounds of boiling potatoes bumped into the boy, splashing his back with boiling water and causing second degree burns to his body.
