New York law requires property owners to ensure the safety of people on their land or in their buildings. This duty generally requires owners to keep their property safe and well-maintained. If a hazard is unavoidable -- such as a large hole in the ground during construction -- the owner must take steps to prevent people from being harmed by the danger.At Simon Eisenberg & Baum, our Brooklyn personal injury attorneys use our experience and knowledge to successfully litigate Brooklyn premises liability claims. It does not matter how obvious the fault of the property owner may be, you can lose your lawsuit if you don't conduct an extensive accident investigation. A thorough investigation uncovers important evidence, reveals all at-fault parties and can even find out if the dangerous property caused injury to other people as well.
After the investigation, we scrutinize all potentially applicable laws to find every possible avenue for getting you maximum compensation. We are also experts at valuating your claim. Your medical bills are only a starting point -- what about your time away from work, future medical expenses and rehabilitation, continuing physical problems and pain and suffering? A thorough claim evaluation also considers other recent New York verdicts and settlements of premises liability claims similar to yours.
Our Brooklyn premises liability lawyers believes that every step of our client's case requires a strong commitment to details and preparation. Our preparation creates confidence; our confidence leads to your successful recovery of damages.
