In New York City and throughout the state, there are often times where an individual is injured on someone else’s property. These injuries can range from minor bruising to something much more serious such as a broken bone. Some injuries may even result in permanent damage, depending on the situation. That being said, many injured people may wonder what their legal options are after being injured on someone else’s property.
If an individual can prove that the property owner was negligent and failed to maintain a safe property, the injured party may have a successful lawsuit. Premises liability means that all property owners, whether the property is residential or commercial in nature, have the legal responsibility to make sure there are no hazards present on their property. For example, they have to make sure any snow or ice is cleared so no one slips, make sure the floor boards of a porch are even so no one trips, and make sure the stairways are safe so no one falls and hurts themselves. Of course, there are tons of different injuries that can happen if a property owner is negligent.
