Frequently Asked Questions About Slip & Fall Cases in New York
Under New York State law, property owners and lessees have a legal duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition and may be held legally responsible for injuries which occur on their property. Determining the proper parties to name in a lawsuit is often very challenging. It requires an experienced law firm who will conduct a prompt and thorough investigation.
At the Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, we have handled tens of thousands of slip and fall and trip and fall cases and have the experience necessary to identify those responsible for your injuries.
The law involving slip and fall or trip and fall accidents in the State of New York is complicated. Very often, the laws favor the property owners and lessees. A lawsuit will not necessarily be successful just because one is injured on someone’s property. The injured party must be able to prove that the property owner or lessee either created the unsafe condition that led to the injury or that they knew or should have known of the unsafe condition.
Yes, and the sooner the better. When you are injured as a result of an unsafe condition on someone’s property, you need to act fast. The insurance company has an unfair advantage as they are quickly notified of a premises liability accident so that they can investigate and start building their defense immediately.
It is crucial that you level the playing field and contact an attorney immediately in order to allow for a prompt and thorough investigation of your claim on your behalf. You want to ensure that you have every advantage that the insurance company has and that you are able to investigate and preserve all evidence of your accident.
