Attorneys Defending Against Frivolous Lawsuits for Commercial Property Owners in Westchester County and Long Island
Property owners have to be aware of a potentially harmful condition and have sufficient time to rectify it or secure it before they can be considered liable for harm done to an individual. Many personal injury lawsuits are brought against owners of commercial premises for situations they were never aware of, or when the injury occurred before the property owner had time to rectify the problem.
Our attorneys resolve our clients’ premises liability problems as quickly and efficiently as possible. We use alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation or direct negotiation whenever possible to bring our clients’ cases to a close in a cost-effective manner. If this is not an option, our accomplished trial lawyers will stand between our clients and plaintiffs who believe our clients should pay simply because they have “deep pockets.”
Our firm has defended against premises liability lawsuits of all types, including:
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Snow and ice
- Employee assaults
- Trash or liquid debris
- Inadequate lighting
- Uneven walkways or other surfaces
- Malfunctioning elevators or escalators
- Violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act
