Premises Liability in New York

Every property owner has a duty to maintain his property in a reasonably safe condition. This means that a property owner must use reasonable care to maintain their property and consider all circumstances that would likely cause injury to others. They also have a duty to warn others against dangerous conditions that exist on the property that are known or reasonably ascertainable. However, if the dangerous condition is open and obvious, a person on the property is expected to use their own senses to avoid harm. This does not mean that the property owner should not take steps to reduce the occurrence of harm that the dangerous condition could cause. They could do this by posting visible notices about the harm on the property.

Do I Have a Valid Slip-and-Fall Claim?

If you have been injured in a slip-and-fall as a result of a dangerous condition on a property, you must prove that the property owner had actual or constructive notice of the danger in order to succeed in your claim. Establishing this may require an extensive investigation to discover any defects in the property’s maintenance or safety procedures. Constructive notice means that the danger was visible and apparent, and had existed for a sufficient period of time before the accident that caused your injury. Proving constructive notice of a dangerous condition on a property requires evidence of how long a dangerous condition existed before your accident. An experienced slip-and-fall attorney will have the knowledge and resources required to gather sufficient evidence to support your claim and establish liability.
