New York City Premises Liability & Slip and Fall Lawyer

If you were injured because a property owner failed to keep their premises safe, you may have a valid premises liability claim under New York law — covering slip and fall accidents in stores, elevator malfunctions, negligent security, and dangerous sidewalk conditions.

​

A key legal issue is notice: whether the owner knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition with enough time to fix it or warn visitors. New York City Administrative Code Section 7-210 also shifts sidewalk-maintenance liability to the abutting property owner in most cases — an important distinction for NYC slip and fall claims.
