Premises Liability
Property owners and managers have a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions for tenants, customers, and visitors. When they fail to do so and someone is injured as a result, they can and should be held accountable. From slip and fall accidents to structural defects and code violations, we handle every aspect of your claim and pursue full compensation for your injuries.

SLIP, TRIP & FALL ACCIDENTS
Falls are among the most common and preventable causes of serious injury in New York. Wet floors, uneven pavement, and icy sidewalks can result in broken bones, concussions, or spinal damage. Property owners who fail to inspect and correct hazards may be held liable for the harm caused. Prompt investigation and documentation are critical to preserving your claim.
UNSAFE BUILDINGS & STRUCTURAL HAZARDS
Cracked stairs, broken railings, defective elevators, or loose flooring can make buildings dangerous. Owners and management companies must maintain the property in compliance with building and safety codes. Neglected maintenance often points directly to owner or management negligence.
NEGLIGENT SECURITY
When property owners fail to provide adequate lighting, surveillance, or security personnel, they can be held liable for assaults or robberies that occur as a result. Security lapses are preventable; liability arises when owners ignore known risks.
SNOW, ICE & WEATHER-RELATED ACCIDENTS
Property owners and contractors are responsible for clearing snow and ice within a reasonable time after storms. Failure to do so can create unsafe conditions for pedestrians and visitors. Liability often turns on timing and documentation of removal efforts.
COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY CLAIMS
Landlords, business owners, and property managers each have distinct duties under New York law. Identifying who controlled the property and had the power to fix the hazard is essential. Responsibility extends to anyone who had notice and control over the dangerous condition.
EVIDENCE & INVESTIGATION
Premises cases rely on documentation — photos, maintenance records, and inspection reports often determine the outcome. Immediate action strengthens the claim and preserves proof before repairs are made.
