What Should I Know About Premises Liability Cases?
Business owners and lessees have a duty of care to their customers and other lawful visitors to their premises. The property owner must maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition.
New York law favors premises owners and makes it difficult to bring a successful lawsuit. Just because a person was injured on someone’s premises does not mean the premises owner was negligent.
An injured party must prove that the property owner caused the defective or unsafe condition, or they knew or should have known that there was an unsafe condition on the premises. The injured party would also have to prove that the unsafe condition was a substantial cause of the injury.
An investigation of a premises liability claim is mandatory and should be done quickly. Included in the investigation is an immediate inspection of the accident location, photographs of the scene, and interviews with any witnesses.
