Bronx Premises Liability Lawyer 

Whenever you are injured in a building, hotel, store, restaurant, office, or construction site in the Bronx or elsewhere within New York City, you are due compensation for your injuries from any and all responsible parties. Accidents on another’s property can cause serious injuries.

The accident you experienced could be from a falling object, a slip-and-fall, defective construction equipment or other faulty structures. Regardless, you should remember that you have the right to recover damages for your injuries. If another’s negligence caused you injury, you may file an action seeking compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical expenses.

Who May File a Premises Liability Claim

Premises liability claims require that certain facts be established. Whether invited or not, any visitor who enters the property is owed a duty by the property owner and/or caretaker. The owner must keep their property in a reasonably safe condition, provided that the visitor’s presence was reasonably foreseeable.

In a premises liability claim, one must prove that the unsafe property condition existed and that it was the cause of their unfortunate accident. The best way to satisfy proof is by providing a photograph of the property’s condition. Without such a photo, testimony provided by a witness can prove that there was a hazardous condition.

Then, they will be required to prove that the property owner is the party responsible for the hazard. This means that the property owner knew about the hazard, or should have known about it. Finally, they will need to show proof that they were injured. Doctors’ records will suffice. An individual has the right to bring a premises liability claim in the Bronx if their presence upon another’s property was reasonably foreseeable and if they sustained an injury due to a hazardous condition upon the property.
