Understanding Premises Liability: What You Need to Know
Premises liability involves holding property owners legally responsible for injuries caused by unsafe conditions on their property. Whether the accident occurred in a residential, commercial, or public space, you may be entitled to compensation if negligence played a role.
Victims in New York typically have three years from the date of injury to file a premises liability claim, so it’s important to act quickly.
What You Need To Prove in a Premises Liability Case
Proving negligence is the foundation of any successful premises liability claim. Our premises liability lawyer will work closely with you to demonstrate how the property owner's actions, or lack thereof, directly led to your injuries. Establishing fault requires a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding your accident and carefully presenting the facts to substantiate your case.
To recover compensation, you must prove that:
- A dangerous or hazardous condition existed on the property.
- The property owner or manager knew (or should have known) about the condition.
- The dangerous condition caused your accident and injuries.
Documenting your injuries and gathering evidence is essential to building a strong case.
What Constitutes a Property Owner's Duty of Care?
Property owners are expected to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. This includes fixing hazards promptly or warning visitors of potential dangers. If an owner fails to uphold this duty of care, they may be liable for resulting injuries. Examples include creating a dangerous condition, neglecting necessary repairs, or ignoring complaints about existing hazards.
Types of Premises Liability Claims We Handle
At Ajlouny Injury Law, we have extensive experience handling all kinds of premises liability cases. Some of the most common include:
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Slip and falls often result from wet floors, icy sidewalks, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting. Injuries can range from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Common accident sites include parking lots, stairwells, and entryways.
- Negligent Security & Assault Injuries: When property owners fail to provide adequate security measures, visitors can suffer harm in assaults or attacks. Negligent security can involve broken locks, insufficient lighting, lack of surveillance systems, or untrained staff. Liability is often established using police records or prior complaints.Â
- Dog Bite & Animal Attack Claims: New York holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by dangerous animals. A dog with a history of unprovoked aggression or attacks may qualify as having a "vicious propensity." Dog owners can be found negligent if they fail to secure their pet properly.Â
- Elevator & Escalator Accidents: Faulty elevators and escalators can cause devastating injuries. Property owners and managers are responsible for regular maintenance and ensuring these systems operate safely.
- Ceiling Collapses & Structural Failures: Structural issues like ceiling collapses can result from poor maintenance, leaks, or code violations. Victims of such accidents often suffer serious injuries, including spinal cord damage and TBIs.
- Toxic Exposure & Hazardous Conditions: Hazards such as mold, chemicals, or unsafe building materials can cause long-term health issues. Property owners are required to address these dangers promptly to prevent harm to tenants and visitors.
Premises liability cases often involve complicated legal issues and require a thorough understanding of New York laws to secure the compensation you deserve.
