PREMISES LIABILITY

At Paris & Chaikin, PLLC, we handle all types of premises liability cases ranging from defective sidewalks, crosswalks, streets, pathways and stairways to improperly and negligently maintained private residences, commercial buildings, industrial buildings, parking lots and parks.

Trip and fall accidents generally occur as a result of the property owner’s failure to maintain the premises safe and free of any defective and hazardous conditions which could result in an accident. If, for any reason, a hazard exists at a premises, a visible warning must be posted. If inadequate property maintenance or failure to warn of a dangerous condition results in a trip and fall injury, the victim may seek damages against the property owner.

Individuals face trip and fall hazards daily. Sidewalks, stairs, buildings, parking lots, roads, and even private residences may have defective conditions which could and will cause a trip and fall accident. Garbage and debris as well as wet floors cause injuries to may pedestrians who fail to make a claim for their injuries. Though we all have a duty to look where we are walking, property owners and businesses are in the best position to prevent an accident by simply properly maintaining their premises.

Our firm understands how the negligence of others causes and contributes to trip and fall accidents which ultimately injure innocent pedestrians. Don’t let a rich property owner get away without compensating you for your injuries.

You claim may be subject to statutory time restraints that require immediate attention. Contact us immediately if you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a trip and fall accident. Our attorneys are always available for a free consultation with absolutely no obligations at 212-742-0476.
