Premises liability claims can arise in several ways.

In 2023, there were more than 8.8 million people treated in emergency rooms in the US for fall-related injuries. These cases could also involve dog attacks, negligent security, and more. 

Our firm will carefully review the details of your accident, gather the evidence needed to establish liability, and help you obtain compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, and lost earnings from the negligent property owner.  You have limited time to build this case, and some of the evidence you need won’t be obtainable for long. It’s important that you hire a premises liability lawyer at your first opportunity so they can start helping right away. 

Recovering Compensation in a Premises Liability Claim

Every private property owner in Suffolk County has a duty of care to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition.  If the owner knows about an unsafe condition or should have known about it but failed to alleviate the dangerous condition, they will be negligent and responsible for the resulting injuries.  

Property owners may likely have an insurance company ready to hire lawyers to defend their clients and you should have a lawyer representing you as well.  An experienced personal injury attorney will help you hold the defendant accountable for the damages you suffered, and this may include economic and non-economic losses. 

Whether you were injured in a slip-and-fall, tripping accident, or some other injury on another person’s property, you should call an experienced attorney like The Law Office of Brett J. Nomberg, PLLC to help protect your legal rights.  Mr. Nomberg has the skill and experience necessary to handle the most challenging personal injury cases, so reach out to our firm at your first opportunity to learn how we can help with your case. 

FAQs

What Evidence Do You Need in a Premises Liability Case? 

The most important evidence you may need in a premises liability case for a slip and fall or tripping accident are photographs and videos showing the unsafe condition that caused the fall.  Other important evidence will include identifying any eyewitnesses to the accident or the unsafe conditions.  Security camera footage from the property or an adjacent property owner will be important evidence as well if available. Some of this evidence may not be obtainable for long as videos are routinely erased, so it’s important to hire a premises liability lawyer to start gathering evidence to build your case as soon as possible. 

What Happens if I Was Partially Responsible for My Accident? 

If you were partially responsible for your accident, you can still claim damages under New York’s pure comparative fault rule for most personal injury cases. However, your percentage of fault for causing the accident will diminish your recovery.  Whatever percentage of fault is assigned to you will reduce your recovery awarded by a jury.  If a case is settled, then there is no apportionment.  Your attorney can explain whether your alleged negligence is likely to come into play in your case. 

What Damages Can I Recover From a Premises Liability Claim? 

The damages you could recover from a premises liability claim include any economic losses you suffered because of the defendant’s negligence, such as your medical bills and lost income, and a claim for pain and suffering.   Your Suffolk County premises liability attorney can accurately assess the total damages you are eligible to claim. 

Why Do I Need to Hire a Premises Liability Lawyer? 

You need legal counsel because litigation is very complex and the defendant will likely have a defense firm representing their interests.  You have a better chance of successfully establishing fault for the accident and a better chance of recovering appropriate compensation for your losses with a skilled attorney handling your case. 

What Does it Cost to Hire a Premises Liability Lawyer in Suffolk County? 

The Law Office of Brett J. Nomberg, PLLC accepts personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis which means there is no fee unless we win, and we will only charge a standard one-third fee from the recovery after we successfully recover compensation for your case, either through a settlement or jury verdict.
