Premises liability law holds property owners responsible when unsafe conditions on their property cause injuries. Whether you were injured in a store, apartment building, parking lot, restaurant, or other property in Queens, the owner may be legally liable for your injuries. At The Law Offices of Lucille A. Anzalone, we fight to hold negligent property owners accountable.

Why You Need an Attorney

Under New York law, property owners owe a duty of care to anyone who is lawfully on their property. This includes maintaining safe conditions, warning of known hazards, and conducting regular inspections. When property owners fail in these duties — whether through broken stairs, inadequate lighting, defective elevators, exposed wiring, lead paint, or unsafe building conditions — they can be held liable for all resulting injuries.

Important Deadlines

Premises liability claims in New York generally have a three-year statute of limitations. If the property is owned by the government, a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days. It is critical to document the hazardous condition and seek medical attention immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is premises liability?
Premises liability is the area of law that holds property owners and occupiers responsible for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe or hazardous conditions. This includes residential buildings, commercial properties, stores, restaurants, and public spaces.
What types of premises liability cases do you handle?
We handle all types of premises liability cases including slip and fall, trip and fall, ceiling collapses, defective stairs and elevators, inadequate security, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, toxic exposure, and other dangerous property conditions.
How do I prove a premises liability claim in New York?
You must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, failed to repair or warn about it, and that this failure caused your injuries. Evidence such as photographs, maintenance records, prior complaints, and witness testimony are critical.
Can I sue a landlord for injuries in my apartment?
Yes. Landlords have a duty to maintain rental properties in safe, habitable condition. If your landlord knew about a dangerous condition — such as a broken staircase, ceiling damage, or lead paint — and failed to fix it, they can be held liable for your injuries.
