Tripped and fell at someone else’s property and sustained injuries?

The Bongiorno Law Firm has obtained MILLIONS of dollars for clients injured as a result of a Trip and Fall accident.

In New York, owners and tenants of both residential and commercial properties are
responsible for maintaining their premises in a reasonably safe condition. They are not permitted to allow tripping hazards to exist on their property. If they do allow tripping hazards to exist on their property, they are considered negligent and can be held liable for your injuries.

Liability: Notice and Creation

A word about 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 tripping hazard that caused the accident, or had notice of the tripping hazard for a sufficient period of time prior to the accident to have afforded them the opportunity to fix or otherwise remedy the condition.
