New York Slip, Trip and Fall Attorneys

Experienced Hudson Valley Premises Liability Attorneys

It is not uncommon for property owners to deny responsibility for injuries that occur on their property. However, property owners are legally liable for injuries that occur on their premises due to disrepair, hazards and inadequate security. In retail stores, customers are "business invitees," creating a duty of care on the part of storeowners to maintain well-kept, safe premises. Likewise, office building managers, parking garage owners and apartment building management are responsible for maintaining the safety and well-being of their property.

At the law office of Ostrer & Hoovler, P.C., our attorneys work with safety experts and accident investigators in exposing negligence on the part of property owners. If you have been injured in a retail store, office building, parking garage, or parking lot, contact our New York premises liability lawyers today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.

Premises Liability Cases Involving Slip-and-Fall or Trip-and-Fall Accidents

Our personal injury attorneys recover financial damages for people injured in slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accidents involving the following:

• Slippery floors
• Crumbling stairs
• Exposed wiring
• Uneven carpet or tiling

Understanding Liability in Slip-and-Fall and Trip-and-Fall Cases

In many cases, the issue of foreseeability is involved, meaning, were there hazards or repair issues that created foreseeable dangers or hazards for patrons? Failure to remove hazards and foreseeable dangers creates liability for property owners. To hold property owners accountable, our personal injury attorneys investigate the scene of an accident, interview eyewitnesses, review maintenance or repair records, and check video camera footage if available.
