Injured on Someone Else’s Property in NYC? I Can Help.

If you were hurt because a property owner didn’t fix something dangerous—like a broken stair, wet floor, or falling debris—you may have a premises liability case. I represent people across New York City who were injured inside apartment buildings, stores, restaurants, sidewalks, stairwells, and more.

Types of Property Hazards

These cases often happen in places most of us go every day. I’ve helped clients recover after:

  • Slipping on wet floors in grocery stores or lobbies
  • Tripping over broken or uneven sidewalks
  • Falling down stairs with poor lighting or loose handrails
  • Getting hit by falling shelves or ceiling debris
  • Being hurt because of poor security or broken entry doors

If someone failed to fix a hazard—or ignored it completely—and you got hurt because of it, let’s talk about your options.

When a Property Owner Can Be Held Responsible

New York law says property owners and landlords must take reasonable steps to keep their property safe. That includes cleaning up spills, fixing broken stairs, and warning you about known dangers.



If they knew—or should’ve known—about a hazard and didn’t act, they may be legally responsible for your injuries.

I Handle the Case So You Can Focus on Healing

I’ll take care of:

  • Investigating what caused your fall or injury
  • Getting witness statements, photos, and repair records
  • Dealing with insurance adjusters
  • Making sure your medical care and lost wages are part of your claim
  • Negotiating or filing a lawsuit if needed


You’ll always talk to me—not a call center or assistant.

Common Questions About Property Injury Claims

  • What if there was no warning sign about the hazard?

    That may actually strengthen your case. Property owners have a duty to warn people about known dangers. No sign or barrier could show they were careless.

  • Can I sue if I was hurt in my apartment building?

    Yes—if the landlord or building manager failed to fix a known problem, like broken steps or a leaking pipe, they may be held responsible.

  • What if the accident happened on the sidewalk?

    It depends who owns or maintains the sidewalk. In NYC, property owners are often responsible for the sidewalks in front of their buildings. I’ll investigate to find out.

  • Do I need to prove the owner knew about the problem?

    We need to show the owner knew—or should have known—about the hazard. I look for repair records, complaints, or surveillance footage that helps prove that.

  • What if I was partly at fault?

    Even if you were distracted or didn’t see the hazard, you may still have a case. New York follows a rule called “comparative fault,” which means you can recover damages even if you were partially responsible.
