Premises Liability

New York Premises Liability Lawyers

Zealous Legal Representation in New York City & Statewide

When property owners in New York City fail to maintain safe conditions, the consequences can be life-changing. From icy sidewalks to neglected stairwells, hazardous property conditions put residents, workers, and visitors at risk daily. 

At Godosky & Gentile, our elite team of trial attorneys represents individuals seriously injured due to unsafe property conditions throughout the five boroughs. 

Premises liability law holds property owners—and in some cases, landlords, tenants, or contractors—accountable when they fail to address dangerous conditions or provide proper warnings. 

Whether the injury occurs on commercial, residential, or municipal property, victims have the right to pursue compensation for their losses.

New York City Accidents Due to Property Owner Negligence

Godosky & Gentile handles a wide range of premises liability claims, including: 

  • Slip and trip accidents in grocery stores, hotels, and apartment buildings
  • Falls on snow and ice, particularly when sidewalks and entryways are not properly maintained
  • Sidewalk injuries, including those involving broken concrete or dangerous elevations
  • Cellar door and grate accidents—especially common in older NYC buildings and sidewalks
  • Supermarket and retail store incidents, such as wet floors, unsecured displays, or poor lighting
  • Building code violations, including broken handrails, missing signage, or structural hazards
  • Falls caused by uneven pavement or unstable ground
  • Assaults or injuries in stairwells, parking garages, and poorly lit areas, often due to inadequate security

Premises liability injuries can occur in nearly any setting, from Manhattan hotels and Brooklyn apartment buildings to Bronx supermarkets and Queens construction sites.

Not Just a “Simple Fall Case”

Some view premises liability as a basic area of law—but that is a mistake. These cases require extensive documentation, aggressive investigation, and innovative legal strategy. 

Proving liability can be challenging, especially when the property owner loses or quickly alters evidence. At Godosky & Gentile, we do not treat these cases as routine. Our attorneys understand how to uncover building code violations, expose safety failures, and challenge the defenses raised by powerful property owners and their insurance companies.

Property owners and their insurers will often deny responsibility, minimize injuries, or attempt to settle for far less than a claim is worth. We build compelling cases through site inspections, expert testimony, surveillance footage analysis, and careful documentation of injuries and their long-term impact.
