Premises Liability

New York City Premises Liability Attorneys

Visitors to homes and businesses expect them to be reasonably safe. When a hazard causes an injury, the property owner or tenant can be held responsible for the damages.

Barasch & McGarry helps ensure responsible parties are held accountable when they fail to keep their commercial, residential or public property in a reasonably safe condition as required by law.

Barasch & McGarry puts the client and their needs first. Always. Their staff is knowledgeable and professional. The attorneys are accessible and responsive and take the time to explain what could be dense information for those not familiar with it. In my experience, I have always been impressed with their level of service and attention and I’ve never waited for a call back.

Proving Premises Injury Liability

Not every injury is the fault of the property or business owner. You must prove more than just that you were injured while on someone else’s property. You must show that the owner or occupier fell below the standard of care by failing to inspect and regularly maintain the property, identify unsafe conditions, or repair or warn others of potential hazards.

From dog bites to elevator accidents, premises liability lawsuits can stem from injuries caused by a variety of hazardous conditions. In our many decades of experience, our lawyers have handled cases involving:

Concealed holes
Crumbling curbs
Cracked sidewalks
Defects in chairs or benches
Falling objects
Icy walkways
Improperly secured mats
Inadequate security
Insufficient lighting
Open excavations
Standing water
Spills
Uncleared snow
Uneven pavement
Wet or slippery floors
Defective flooring & building conditions
Broken or missing handrails
Aggressive dogs and other pets
