Understanding New York Premises Liability Laws

Under New York Premises Liability Law, restaurant owners have a legal obligation to keep their premises safe for patrons. When they fail to do so, they may be held accountable for any resulting injuries. To establish liability, it’s important to prove that the owner was negligent in maintaining a safe environment. As such, gathering evidence and documentation, such as witness statements and security footage, can be important in supporting your claim.

What to Do If You’re Injured in a Restaurant Accident

If you’re injured in a restaurant accident, take the following steps to protect your health and legal rights:

  • Seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries appear minor
  • Report the accident to the restaurant’s management and obtain a copy of the incident report
  • Document the scene, including photographs and witness contact information
  • Preserve any evidence that may support your claim
  • Contact an Personal Injury Lawyer promptly
