Premises liability accidents at shopping centers can cause serious injuries when property owners fail to maintain safe conditions. These incidents often involve hazards that violate building codes and create unnecessary dangers for customers. When businesses prioritize convenience over customer safety, innocent people suffer the consequences through painful injuries and medical expenses.
Client's Case
A semi-retired education professional was enjoying a routine visit to her local Rockland County pharmacy when a dangerous condition changed her life. After completing her purchase, she and her sister walked toward their car when they encountered an improperly positioned door from another business in the strip mall. While attempting to navigate around the hazardous door, our client tripped and fell, fracturing her non-dominant wrist in a way that required surgical intervention. The defendants argued the door was open and obvious, claiming our client should have avoided it. We successfully demonstrated that the door placement violated building codes and created an unreasonable tripping hazard that the property owner had a duty to address. Through skilled mediation with a respected Long Island judge, we achieved a $430,000 settlement that far exceeded our client's expectations.
