Every day, Manhattan residents suffer injuries on someone else’s premises, including retail stores, shopping malls, swimming pools, and other properties.
According to NYC Health, many of these accidents are unintentional falls, which rank as the leading injury-related hospitalization cause.

If you suffered an injury on someone else’s premises, you must prove, first, that the property owner neglected their duty to keep the premises safe (for example, by failing to remove a known hazard), and second, that the unsafe condition led to your accident. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you establish liability.
While most premises liability cases settle out of court, your attorney may suggest taking your case to trial if the property owner or their insurer denies responsibility or the settlement offer falls short of covering your accident-related damages.
When communicating with insurers, stick to the facts and refuse to give a recorded statement. Never accept any settlement offer before consulting a lawyer first.
When choosing a Manhattan premises liability lawyer, look for a reputable law firm with an established track record and solid reviews from former clients with cases similar to yours. Beware of any attorney who makes exaggerated promises or assertions, like claiming to be “the best premises liability attorney in NYC.
