Are Premises Liability and Slip and Fall Claims the Same?

Premises liability and slip-and-fall claims are closely related but not the same. Slip-and-fall claims are a type of premises liability claim, but premises liability claims encompass a broader range of incidents beyond slip-and-fall accidents.

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners or occupants to maintain safe conditions on their premises and to protect visitors from foreseeable hazards. This legal concept applies to various properties, including residential, commercial, and public properties.

Premises liability claims may include but are not limited to:

• Dog bites or animal attacks.
• Elevator or escalator malfunctions.
• Fire hazards, including blocked or locked exits.
• Inadequate security.
• Swimming pool accidents.

Slip-and-fall claims are specific premises liability claims typically involving injuries resulting from slips, trips, or falls on someone else’s property. These incidents often occur due to hazards like wet floors, uneven surfaces, loose carpeting, or inadequate lighting.

Unfortunately, when negligence is a factor, people can get hurt in unlimited ways. Our premises liability lawyers in New York City can help investigate your claim and pursue the liable party for your full financial recovery.

Who Can Be Held Liable in Premises Liability Claims?

In premises liability claims, various parties may be held liable depending on the circumstances of the incident. They can extend to different individuals or entities associated with the property where the injury occurred.

That may include:

• Business Operators.
• Contractors or Maintenance Companies.
• Governmental Entities.
• Property Managers or Landlords.
• Property Owners.
• Tenants or Occupants.

To pursue the negligent party for each of our client’s financial recovery needs, we must prove:

• There was an unreasonable risk of harm from the conditions on the premises.
• The person/party/entity in possession of the premises knew or should have known about the unreasonable risk of harm from the conditions.
• The person/party/entity in possession of the premises was negligent when they created the harmful condition or were negligent in failing to warn or fix it.
• The injuries you sustained resulted from the harmful condition.

We will meticulously investigate your matter, gather evidence, and prepare a thorough case with all possible claims. We’ll then contact the liable party’s insurance company and begin the negotiation process. Our goal is to produce tangible results for our clients by fighting for their current and future financial needs so they can regain control of their lives.

We never take “no” for an answer and provide free consultations to help prospective clients understand their premises liability case. We pursue all cases on a purely contingency basis, which means you don’t have to worry about upfront costs or payments for out-of-pocket expenses.
