New York Premises Liability Lawyers

Premises liability is a very large area of law which falls under the category of personal injury. If you have been injured while on the property of another person due to the negligence of the owner or property manager, you may have a premises liability case. If you have suffered an injury due to the negligence of another party please contact a New York premises injury attorney at Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro.

It is the responsibility of the premises, or property owner, to protect people while on their property. If a person dies, or is injured, assaulted, raped, or in any way harmed while on the property the owner may be held liable. Premises injuries may occur in a variety of locations, including, apartments, homes, office buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, parking structures, and schools.

While there are many different types of premises liability cases, slip and fall and trip and fall are the most common. In a slip and fall scenario the victim may slip on a wet area on the floor causing injury. In a trip and fall the victim may trip over stairs, debris, or uneven pavement causing injury. In the event that a property owner fails to protect people on the property they may have to pay for the victims lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical expenses.

We have represented persons injured in department stores, restaurants, grocery stores, banks, hospitals and other buildings open to the public. In one case, our firm obtained a $600,000.00 settlement for a 40 year-old woman who tripped and fell over a door frame in a bank, after the doors glass had shattered the night before. She required back surgery for herniated discs. In another case, a jury awarded $700,000.00 to a 6 year-old boy when a restaurant worker carrying a pot containing 50 pounds of boiling potatoes bumped into the boy, splashing his back with boiling water and causing second degree burns to his body.

If you or a loved one has suffered as the result of a premises injury contact the New York Premises Liability Attorneys at Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro.
