New York Premises Liability | Grandelli & Eskenasi

Premises Liability – Slip/Trip and Fall

We are here to help with your New York premises liability claim. We have the verdicts and the credentials to back it up. Premises liability cases include slip and falls, trip and falls and other types of incidents that occur on someone’s property due to their negligence. These cases can be against private property owners, corporations or municipal entities, like the City of New York.

Property owners owe a duty to keep their property safe for the people they invite onto it. For the owners of places that are open to the public such as restaurants, grocery stores, malls, apartment buildings and others, this means staying on top of maintenance in terms of cleaning up spills and debris that could cause someone to slip and fall. It also means taking action when repairs and more long-term issues such as providing adequate security need to be addressed.

If you have been injured on someone else’s property, the owner may be responsible for your injuries and owe you compensation. Our firm can help maximize that compensation for you.

Winning these cases requires a thorough investigation that can show:

The property owner knew about the dangerous condition and did not take appropriate action to repair it.
The property owner should have known about the dangerous condition and did not take appropriate action to repair it.
The condition of the property violated a statute or code such as the New York state building code.

We will look at all available evidence to support your claim, including surveillance camera footage, maintenance records, eyewitness accounts and other sources to ensure that you are properly compensated for whatever type of incident caused your injury:

Slip-and-fall accidents inside or outside the premises
Trip-and-fall accidents inside or outside the premises
Slip/trip-and-fall accidents on stairs
Accidents due to the lack of a banister or an insufficient banister
Accidents due to improperly maintained sidewalks
Elevator or escalator accidents
Injuries due to inadequate inspection or poor maintenance of the premises
Inadequate security measures that lead to assaults, rape or murder
