Premises Liability

Brooklyn Premises Liability Attorney

When an owner or manager of a business or other property fails to maintain that property in a safe manner, they can be held responsible for the injuries they cause. If you have suffered a serious injury because of dangerous premises, talk to a premises liability lawyer at the law firm of Costello & Costello, P.C. in New York City.

• Unsafe apartment buildings: Did you trip and fall because of poor lighting? Was an injury caused by a slippery floor or debris left in the hallway? Describe your accident to a premises liability attorney who can explain your rights.
• Unsafe schools, schoolyards, playgrounds: A broken stair railing, defective playground equipment, or poorly maintained classrooms can cause a child to be injured. If your child was injured in a school or playground accident caused by poor maintenance, talk to a premises liability lawyer.
• Unsafe restaurant: When unsafe equipment falls on a customer or when a greasy floor causes a slip and fall accident with serious injuries, get the medical treatment you need and talk to an experienced lawyer.
• Unsafe stores and other businesses: Boxes stacked too high, merchandise stocked carelessly, debris left in the aisles, or water or food left on the floor can cause a fall, broken bones, head injuries, and other painful injuries. Know your rights.
• Unsafe homes: If you were injured in someone else's home because of a dangerous situation—a floor that gave way, unsafe stairs, or a dog bite attack—explain the situation to your attorney. The homeowners' insurance may cover your expenses.
• Unsafe city sidewalks: The city, a public utility, or a landowner may be responsible for the damaged sidewalk that led to your slip, trip, and fall accident. Our attorneys have handled many claims related to defective city sidewalks.
