Premises Liability:
New York Premises Liability Lawyers

Injuries suffered on another's property home, store, office, sidewalk, or commercial building are often the result of negligent maintenance or even complete disregard for the safety of others.

Common premises liability cases include "slip and falls", "trip and falls", swimming pool accidents and the like. One should realize that the mere existence of a defective condition in a store or public place of business does not, as a matter of law, render the proprietor liable for an injury caused by the defective condition unless the proprietor knew, or in the exercise of reasonable care ought to have known, of the defect, i.e. the slippery substance that caused the slip and fall.

The length of time a substance must remain on the floor before the owner should have discovered it, for purposes of premises liability, and what constitutes a reasonable inspection procedure vary with each case, depending on the nature of the business, the size of the store, the number of customers, the nature of the dangerous condition, and the store's location.

New York's laws on premises liability are complex and ever changing. Therefore, it is imperative that you contact an attorney who has experience and knowledge of the law so that it can be determined whether you have a viable claim.

Product Liability:

Product liability is the body of law that provides for compensation for physical injuries and property damage resulting from defective and unreasonably dangerous products and from the failure of a manufacturer or seller to warn the consumer of a product's dangers.

A products liability claim includes all claims or actions brought for personal injury, death or property damage caused by the manufacture, construction, design, formula, preparation, assembly, installation, testing, warnings, instructions, marketing, packaging or labeling of any product.

Tort liability protects a consumer's interest in freedom from injury regardless of the existence of an agreement between the parties. Tort law imposes responsibility on manufacturers of defective products because they are best able to encourage safer manufacture and design and to allocate the costs of injury arising from unsafe products. It is essential to obtain the assistance of an experienced attorney to assist with these complicated cases.
