Premises liability is a type of personal injury claim related to accidents that occur as a result of property owner negligence.

Attorney Chesley is a versatile and experienced personal injury lawyer who represents victims in slip/trip and fall cases in Brooklyn, NY and the surrounding areas.
Did you know that premises liability law demands New York property owners to keep their property safe from potential dangers? If a premises owner does not uphold the duty to keep guests free from harm, they can be held accountable for injuries on their property.

What Is Premises Liability and How Do You Know If You Have a Valid Claim?
Both homeowners and commercial property owners are required to maintain safe conditions for their guests, customers, employees, etc. Some common examples of premises liability claims include:
- Wet floor hazards without a warning sign
- Broken or poorly-lit staircases
- Sidewalks with slippery ice patches
- Parking lots with large cracks in the pavement
- + More
It can be difficult to determine who was at fault after a slip/trip and fall accident. You have to prove that the property owner had knowledge of (or reasonably should have had knowledge of) the hazard and failed to take action. Defendants in these cases will often try to prove that the victim wasn’t paying attention or didn’t practice reasonable caution themselves.
