New York Premises Liability Lawyer
Slipping on a wet floor in a retail store, falling down a set of crumbling steps or slipping on ice can all lead to painful injuries. If you were injured in an accident on another person's property, and the accident was caused by the negligence of a property owner, the personal injury attorneys of DeGraff, Foy & Kunz, LLP, may be able to help you obtain financial compensation for your accident-related losses.
What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability is an area of law that involves the legal responsibility of property owners to keep their premises reasonably safe for the public. If they fail in their obligations and someone is hurt because of their negligence, the property owner can be ordered to compensate the injured person for damages, including pain and suffering, lost wages or income, medical expenses, rehabilitation costs and other losses related to the accident.
In order to be successful in a premises liability case, we must prove that:
- A dangerous condition existed on the property.
- The dangerous condition caused you to fall and become injured.
- The property owner or manager knew about the dangerous condition.
- Despite this knowledge, he or she did nothing to correct the situation.
We represent clients who are injured in all kinds of premises liability claims, including:
- Slip-and-fall accidents in stores, restaurants, parking lots and public places
- Injuries due to inadequate security or lighting
- Elevator or escalator accidents
- Falls on icy or snowy sidewalks
- Dog bite injuries
- Falls caused by broken railings on decks or balconies
Please do not delay; you could lose your right to compensation. If you were injured on property owned by a government entity, for example, you may have as little as 90 days to give notice of your intent to file a claim.
