Liability for Injuries from Negligence and Violent Crimes:

in a Public Place

Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe and secure property conditions at all times. When an individual is injured or killed as the result of unsafe, hazardous, or poorly maintained property conditions, the property owner may be held liable for damages under New York's premises liability laws. If you have been injured in a premises liability accident, or if you are the victim of a violent crime such as assualt, rape or theft, you are legally entitled to seek compensation for your pain, suffering, medical costs, rehabilitation, psychological distress, financial hardship, lost wages, and any other expenses that arise after the accident or crime.

In order to win a premises liability lawsuit, the victim must prove that the property owner acted negligently and is at fault for the accident or crime.  Contact the Siskind Law Firm if any of these factors may have lead to your injury:
