What the Law Says

New York law requires property owners, landlords, and tenants to fix dangerous conditions—or warn the public when repairs can’t be made immediately.


To win a case, we typically need to show:


  1. The owner or responsible party had control over the property
  2. They knew (or should’ve known) about the hazard
  3. They didn’t take reasonable steps to correct it
  4. You were injured as a result

We know how to document violations and build evidence-backed claims.

What You Can Recover

You may be entitled to compensation for:


  • Medical treatment
  • Hospital bills & physical therapy
  • Pain & suffering
  • Lost wages or missed work
  • Long-term disability or impairment
  • Impact on your daily life

We’ll help calculate your damages and pursue the full amount you’re owed.

What to Do After an Injury on Unsafe Property

If you were hurt on someone else’s property:


  • Report the incident to the owner, manager, or building supervisor
  • Ask for a copy of any incident report
  • Take pictures of the hazard and your injuries
  • Collect names of any witnesses
  • Seek medical attention immediately
  • Contact us to discuss your options

We’ll step in, protect your rights, and begin building your claim.

Frequently Asked Question – Premises Liability in NY

  • Do I have a case if I fell in a store or apartment hallway?

    If the property owner knew (or should have known) about a hazard and failed to fix it or warn you, you may have a valid claim.

  • What if there was a warning sign?

    A warning sign may reduce liability, but it doesn’t always excuse it—especially if the danger wasn’t addressed properly.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    Generally, you have 3 years to file a personal injury claim in New York. For claims involving government-owned property, that deadline can be much shorter. Don’t wait to speak with a lawyer.
