Under New York State law, property owners have a responsibility to repair hazards or provide adequate warnings. If a property owner knew or should have known about a hazard but did not take action, and if you suffered injuries as a result, you have the right to hold them liable. This means you could file a civil claim or lawsuit to recover compensation for your expenses and losses.
At Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., our New Hyde Park personal injury lawyers know how to hold property owners liable for unsafe premises. If you suffered injuries in a fall in New Hyde Park or a surrounding area, we will review your case for free.
