Premises Liability
Representation for Victims in NYC
The law requires that premises are maintained to a standard that is safe for those who use or visit them. This applies to private, residential, commercial and government premises and includes both indoor and outdoor areas. Where this law is violated, the party responsible for the premises - whether it be a landlord, manager, management company, or other - may be sued for damages. Examples of factors that may be grounds for a suit include:
- Slippery surfaces
- Uneven flooring or walking surfaces
- Holes in the ground or cement walking areas
- Obstructed pathways or exits
-
Poorly built or maintained stairs, escalators or
elevators
- Electrical hazards
- Dangerous chemicals
- Malfunctioning equipment
- Dangerous sidewalks
- Dangerous pets / dog bites
- Lack of security or insufficient security
- Lack of warning of hazardous conditions
