What is a New York Property Owner’s Responsibility to Prevent Slip and Falls?

People who own or operate property in New York or New Jersey generally want to keep themselves, their employees, and their guests safe. They want people to avoid painful injuries, and they may worry about their potential legal liability if those injuries occur on their property.

As a New York slip and fall attorney, I want to provide a few specific tips for New York property owners so that they can avoid future accidents on their property and sleep better at night knowing that they have done their best to protect those who visit their homes or businesses. Specifically, I recommend that property owners:
  • Carefully Maintain Their Property: it is important for property owners and managers to reasonably maintain their property and not to allow it to deteriorate and become dangerous.
  • Regularly Inspect Their Property: in addition to regular or routine maintenance jobs, property owners have a responsibility to regularly inspect their property in order to determine if there are any dangerous conditions which need to be corrected.
  • Fix All Known Defects: finally, property owners have a legal responsibility to fix all known defects, and all defects that should have been discovered through regular maintenance and inspections.

If Someone is Hurt on Their Property, The Injured May Call a New York Slip and Fall Lawyer

When a potential client contacts a slip and fall injury lawyer, the attorney will review the facts of the accident with the client and, if appropriate, initiate an investigation. The lawyer will be looking to see whether the property was reasonably maintained, reasonably inspected for dangerous conditions, and whether defects that were known or should have been known were reasonably fixed.
