New York Premises Liability Lawyer

Premises owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their property. They have a duty to warn visitors of hazards they are aware of and even those that they should have been aware of. If you are injured as a result of an unsafe condition at a premises, you will probably be able to hold the owner of it legally responsible. This is true even if you are injured as a result of the owner hiring negligent contractors, maintenance companies, or through the negligence of a tenant or other entity.

Special New York Laws For Premise Liability
Under New York law, all property owners have an absolute duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. If they fail in that duty and they knew or should have known that a dangerous condition existed they can be held responsible if someone is injured. The law applies equally to all property owners including commercial buildings, apartment buildings, supermarkets, -

retail stores, commercial properties, private homes, public sidewalks and roadways, parking lots, schools, restaurants, hotels and hospitals.

Despite the law, many property owners choose to ignore basic safety standards and expose the public to needless risks. This can cause countless injures to occur.
