Property owners and businesses have a legal obligation to keep their premises safe for visitors. When someone gets hurt due to a dangerous condition, they may be able to recover damages by filing a personal injury claim. For more than 38 years, the premises liability lawyers at James Alexander Law have successfully recovered compensation for injured victims throughout New York. We’re dedicated to fighting for your rights and holding negligent parties accountable for their actions.

Types Of Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability claims can arise from a multitude of circumstances. Some of the most common include:

• Slip, trip, and fall incidents due to ice, wet floors, loose rugs, and damaged walkways or stairs
• Inadequate maintenance or defective conditions on the premises
• Escalator and elevator accidents
• Dog bites
• Swimming pool accidents
• Amusement park accidents
• Negligent security
• Toxic chemical exposure
• Failure to warn of hazards

Seek The Advice Of Legal Counsel Right Away

Whether you slip and fall due to a spill at a supermarket or you’re bitten by a neighbor’s dog, it’s important to seek medical attention and contact a personal injury attorney as soon as you can. Dangerous conditions are often repaired or resolved shortly after an accident takes place. It’s critical to act fast to preserve vital evidence. Our personal injury lawyers work with experts who analyze the scene and evidence to determine whether negligence may have played a part in your injury. If an accident occurred on government property, you may only have months to file a claim.

Our premises liability lawyers can evaluate your case, answer any questions you may have, and advise you of your options. Your initial consultation is always free, so you have nothing to lose by contacting our local, experienced law firm.

Proving Negligence In Premises Liability Claims

It’s important to understand that just because you were hurt on someone’s property it doesn’t mean the owner was negligent. To recover damages, you have to demonstrate that the property owner knew or should have known that there was an unsafe condition and failed to take proper steps to correct it. This can be challenging to do without a premises liability attorney by your side. At James Alexander Law, we understand how to prove all elements of a personal injury claim and fight to help you recover the maximum compensation you deserve.

• Broken bones
• Sprains, strains, and other soft tissue injuries
• Spinal cord injury
