If you were assaulted in a poorly lit parking lot, you tripped on unevenly constructed stairs or you were bitten by someone else’s pit bull, you may have a premises liability claim.
Personal injury law in New York protects the rights of individuals who are injured on another person’s property. This area of law is known as premises liability law. Property owners in New York are required to take adequate measures to ensure their property is safe.
Too Many Property Owners Fail To Maintain A Safe Premises
Many property owners, unfortunately, are unaware of their responsibilities under the law. In fact, some owners may try to deny that they are liable and may tell you that you have no rights after a serious injury. This is not true. You may have a claim, and it is important that you speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer to ensure you secure full and fair compensation after an accident on someone else’s property.

Act Now. Your Time May Be Limited To Take Action.
All personal injury cases have statutes of limitations. This means that there is a limited period of time within which you can file a premises liability claim. In particular, if you have a claim against the government, there are even stricter limits.
Additionally, you need to act quickly to make sure evidence is preserved in your case. Some property owners may try to cover up their negligence to limit their liability. The sooner you start working with an attorney, the better chances you have at bringing a successful claim.
Contact our attorneys as soon as possible after you have suffered a serious injury on another’s property. We offer free initial consultations at no obligation to you. Call our firm at (212) 742-0476 or send us an email.
