Statute of Limitations for New York Premises Liability Claims
All 50 states, most certainly including New York State, have statutes of limitations that applies to any personal injury claim. This means that you must file your claim within a certain period for the claim to be considered valid and proceed. There are, however, circumstances in which a claim might still be valid.
For example, if you suffered an injury due to poorly maintained property but did not realize the extent of the injury until much later, a skilled attorney could argue that the date of your injury should be based on the moment you realized the full extent of the problem. In New York, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years.

What is Premises Liability?
Simply put, premises liability refers to the legal responsibility a landowner or property owner has for any accidents or injuries that occur on their land or property. Homeowners, business owners, and other property owners are responsible, to some degree, for the safety of visitors and guests. If hazards exist due to negligent maintenance or the failure to quickly remedy a known problem, a property owner may be held financially responsible for any injuries that occur on their premises.
Our New York premises liability attorneys can negotiate with insurance companies and the other responsible parties in your civil suit to gain a favorable settlement or aggressively litigate your case to win the maximum damages allowable under New York law.
There are any number of instances that can lead to injury and a strong and successful premises liability claim. For example, poor lighting and lack of security are frequently linked to the risk and occurrence of violent crimes.
Hazardous conditions (such as obstructed walkways, slick and hazardous surfaces, broken stairs, or a lack of handrails) can lead to major physical injuries. Our New York personal injury attorneys are skilled litigators with extensive negotiation skills and courtroom experience. They work tirelessly and can fight to earn you the compensation you require and deserve.
