If you have suffered a serious injury because of dangerous conditions on property owned by someone else, you have the right to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, premises liability law in New York is complex and you will need experienced legal counsel to effectively pursue your claim or lawsuit.
Property owners are obligated by law to keep their public areas safe. Failure to maintain these areas can result in serious injuries including concussions, broken bones and other painful injuries. When property owners fail to maintain their properties in a safe condition, the result can be serious injury or even death. Our premises liability law firm has a history of helping our clients to understand their rights and to receive the compensation they need to recover from injuries caused by a property owner’s negligence.
Premises Liability Accident Cases that Ross and Hill have Won:
After an injury from an accident, hiring a lawyer is usually the last thing on your mind. Most people want to just move on with their lives and focus on getting back to normal. They want to focus on healing and put the pain and suffering behind them and especially don’t want to spend their time in court. Insurance companies and their armies of defense lawyers are counting on the reluctance of individuals to file a claim and they use this complacency to their advantage.
Moreover, property owners usually fix any dangerous conditions on their property as soon as there is an accident. They will do this to remove any evidence of a defect to avoid liability and thus deprive the injured of their compensation. Therefore, they avoid any penalties they may incur on their insurance premiums. After the repair, it can be difficult to find the evidence needed to show that something hazardous did, in fact, cause your accident.
Insurance companies will also often try to blame accident victims for their own injuries. In a premises liability case, this can be as simple as claiming you should have paid more attention. If you were injured slipping on a wet surface, they may say you should have avoided it. But an investigation may show that the wet surface had existed from hours before and was never cleaned up. This is why you need professional representation. You also might not know who is responsible for your injuries. In some cases, there may be multiple parties at fault, like a property owner and the City of New York. If you’re seriously hurt, you will need to retain the services of an experienced law firm like Ross and Hill to help conduct a thorough investigation and file your claim within the required legal time limits.
Insurance companies deal with accident and injury claims every day. They know exactly what to say to convince you to settle for less than you deserve.
