New York City is a city of buildings – apartment buildings, office buildings, shopping centers, stadiums, attractions, and various other public buildings which are frequented by thousands of individuals every single day. Legally, it is expected that the owners or managers of such places would diligently make sure that there is sufficient security and safety on the various premises, and that any safety issues are promptly dealt with. In fact, is generally a legal expectation that they will have done so. Nevertheless, many New York residents find themselves injured after visiting such properties, and when that is due to some kind of negligence or lack of care from the property owner or manager, this can result in a premise liability lawsuit, which can help cover the financial burden that may result from such an injury.

There are a few elements that must be proven in a premise liability case, and those include first that the property owner had a duty of care to the plaintiff. This means that the property owner must use reasonable care to maintain reasonably safe conditions on the premises. Second, it needs to be shown that the property owner did not use reasonable care, and thus breach their duty of care.For instance, leaving puddles of wetness on a floor without cleaning it up, or even failing to monitor the premises and never noticing the wet spot. Thirdly, it must be shown that this breach to duty of care resulted in injury to the plaintiff.
Some of the most common forms of premises liability cases include slip and fall accidents where a floor is slippery and an individual loses one’s balance and falls down. Inadequate maintenance charges can be levied against a property owner who does not use reasonable care in maintaining the property, including trimming trees which have branches that could fall and injure people. Also defective conditions, which means the owner did not fix dangerous conditions or even warn of the situation. Another premise liability case would include having inadequate security, including inadequate Lighting in a parking lot or inadequate numbers of security guards where they would normally be required. Ultimately there are a wide range of circumstances that can lead to premises liability lawsuits, including slippery or wet floors, uneven floors or Holes in the Floor, loose in poorly maintained tile, poor the Builder damaged Airways, electrical hazard, poorly stored or dangerous chemicals, uncontrolled and dangerous animals, and again they lack of security or insufficient security.
