Premises liability is a legal doctrine that holds property owners responsible for injuries that occur on their property. This responsibility extends to both the property itself and the activities that take place on it. In essence, property owners have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition and to warn visitors of any known dangers.
Client’s case
A woman in her late 50’s was walking on a NYC sidewalk. She tripped and fell on a small crack. We argued that the City knew of the condition and should have fixed it and was responsible for knee injuries. The City claimed that the crack was minimal or nonexistent and it lacked adequate notice. After discovery proceedings, the case settled while on the trial calendar.
