An insurance adjuster will try and minimize the value of your case and most often than not low ball you. They may even try and blame you for the accident. That is why hiring an attorney who can help you understand your options, negotiate a fair settlement, and take your case to court if the insurance company does not offer you the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Liability in Brooklyn Premises Accidents

When someone is injured on a Brooklyn property, questions about liability often arise. Business owners, managers, and landlords are required by law to keep their buildings safe and fix any problems in a reasonable amount of time. When they fail to uphold this duty, and someone gets hurt, they may be held liable for damages.

In New York, liability in premises accident cases is based on several factors. For example, property owners may be held responsible if they knew (or should have known) about an unsafe condition and failed to fix it. Liability can also depend on the injured person’s status on the property, such as whether they were a tenant, customer, trespasser or invited guest.

Our team has the knowledge and resources to investigate the circumstances of your accident and identify liable parties. We will work tirelessly to hold the negligent parties accountable for the harm they caused.

How Can I Afford to Hire a Premises Accident Lawyer?

You may be hesitant to hire a lawyer due to concerns about the cost. However, we believe everyone should have access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we win your case. This allows us to represent clients who may not have the financial means to pay for a lawyer upfront.

Also, your initial consultation is completely free, whether or not you decide to hire us. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll listen to your story, assess the strength of your case, and provide honest advice about your legal options. FREE OF CHARGE!

How Long Do I Have to Take Legal Action?

It’s important to act quickly after an accident to protect your right to file a lawsuit. In New York, the statute of limitations for personal injury accidents is generally three years from the accident date. However, certain circumstances may shorten this time frame such as if your case involves a City agency, a NYCHA building or a case against the MTA/NYCTA in which you have a year and ninety days to file a lawsuit. Once the time limit expires, you’ll no longer have the right to pursue damages.

Another reason why it’s important to move fast is that evidence can be lost or destroyed over time. For example, witnesses may forget details, they may fix the defect that caused your injury, security footage can be erased, and physical evidence might disappear.

Getting started right away will give your lawyer time to build a solid case against the negligent property owner. Your lawyer may need to conduct an investigation, consult with experts, and visit the actual location. The sooner they can get started, the better.
