Premises Liability

The Bongiorno Law Firm has obtained MILLIONS of dollars for clients injured as a result of property owner negligence, also known as “premises liability”.

In New York, owners and tenants of both residential and commercial properties are responsible for maintaining their premises in a reasonably safe condition. For example, they must provide adequate lighting, safe and clean stairways (with proper handrails and level and uniform treads and risers), safe entrances and exits, proper and adequate snow and ice removal in parking lots and on walkways, and safe and properly functioning elevators or escalators.  If they fail to do so, they are considered negligent and can be held liable for personal injuries sustained on their property.

    My husband and I were in a car accident in 2021 and the Bongiorno Law Firm was recommended by a friend. My case was settled this year and although it was a lengthy process everyone working on our case was always helpful and good at following up with us. The Bongiorno team was always available to answer any questions we had and provided the information and guidance we needed as this was our first time dealing with a No Fault case. They not only provided us with legal advice and representation but were diligent in connecting us with the proper agencies for medical treatments wich was of the utmost importance for treating our injuries. We want to express our sincere gratitude to the entire firm and to some of the members that worked on our case: Kristina Washington, Gabriella Weinberger, Pamela Rodriguez, and special shoutout to Keri Lyn Timlin and Daisy Alonso-Bautista for all their time and compassionate profesionalism, and of course Richard Bongiorno who was always just a phone call or text away. I've already recommended them to some friends and will continue to do so as these guys are the real deal. No scams, no having to chase them. Real people working for you and for the best outcome. With over 40 years in service when you choose the Bongiornos, there is no room for regrets.

    The Bongiorno Law firm is great. John took excellent care of me with my slip and fall case. He kept me updated on everything going on and got me a settlement that I was more than happy with.

    I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from this law firm! From the very beginning, Richard and his son were extremely supportive, professional, and hands-on throughout my entire case. What really stood out to me was how involved they were. Sometimes you deal with law firm owners who aren’t very hands-on, but that was definitely not my experience here. Richard and his son made sure I was informed, communicated with me well, and genuinely made me feel like my case mattered. My settlement was completed within the year, which I was very happy with, and the entire process moved much faster than I expected. The communication, professionalism, and overall service were amazing. I truly appreciate everything this firm did for me and would absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone looking for people who are knowledgeable, supportive, and actually care about their clients! P.S if you refer someone you get a nice gift 😊 Thank you daisy for making the funds quickly accessible to me. Will be coming back!

Liability: Notice and Creation

Notice and Creation:  in most instances, in order to establish liability against the owner or tenant at the premises, it must be proven that the owner or tenant (or a contractor hired by an owner or tenant) either created the dangerous condition that caused the accident, or had notice of the dangerous condition for a sufficient period of time prior to the accident to have afforded them the opportunity to fix or otherwise remedy the condition.
