New York City Premises Liability Attorney
Assisting victims of property owner negligence
When you visit someone else’s home, shop in a retail store, or eat in a restaurant, you expect that the property will be reasonably well maintained and free of any hazards that could cause you harm. In fact, New York law requires property owners to make sure that their premises are reasonably safe for visitors. But not all property owners uphold this duty of care, and innocent people can be seriously hurt as a result.
If you were injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe property conditions, you could be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries and damages. At Keith D. Silverstein & Associates, we represent individuals who have suffered serious injuries due to property owner negligence throughout NYC’s five boroughs. If you believe you may have a premises liability case, reach out to our firm today to learn more about your legal rights and options during a free consultation.
