Premises Liability

Brooklyn and Staten Island Liability Attorneys

People who own and manage property have a responsibility to you -- the person who lives on the property or who travels on foot around it. That property should be a safe surrounding for anyone near it, if they are a visitor or a worker. The law demands protection for you from dangerous slip-and-fall injuries.

Premises liability covers a number of avoidable possibilities including dangerous ceilings, slippery floors, irregularities in sidewalks, collapses of stairways and balconies, sidewalk defects, unsafe elevators and escalators, wet floors lacking nearby warning signs, unsafe swimming pools, broken stairs, and missing handrails.

We Work Hard for You

At Bisogno & Meyerson, Attorneys at Law, our outstanding trip and fall and slip and fall lawyers have been assisting clients achieve successful outcomes for almost 15 years. We have more than 30 years of combined experience as a premier Brooklyn and Staten Island personal injury law firm. Negligent property owners should pay the price for the hurt you've suffered.

We litigate with an eye to righting the wrongs of your past and future pain, as well as making sure you receive fair and just compensation for past, present, and future lost earnings. We attempt to recoup other expenses for you too, like medical expenses and disability-related losses. When our slip and fall injury clients lack the insurance to recover these sums, that's when we work our hardest -- when a lawsuit is absolutely necessary.

A Matter of Public Record

Our track record is public record-- there for all to see. A brief but dramatic list of our achievements for our personal injury clients in the field of premises liability would include:

A midtown building porter who dislodged a jam in a trash compactor was unable to turnoff the machine. The safety switch had been removed and the machine's manual shutoff button was broken. The disposal door fell down and struck our client in the head. The hand he used to break his fall was pulled into the machine and was cut off. He later had to have two amputations. Award: $2.4 million.
Lax security at a shopping mall put a kiosk vendor at risk. Our client, a 38-year-old vendor, was setting up his stand early one morning. Security personnel employed by the mall failed to lock the door before the mall opened. A burglar entered the mall and assaulted him, stabbing and robbing him. Award: $4 million.
A bouncer at a popular midtown Manhattan theme restaurant greeted a 16-year-old teenager, escorted her to the third floor to view a music display, and sexually assaulted her. Award: $865,000.
A handicapped woman suffering from severe asthma parked her vehicle in a handicapped spot at a shopping mall, tripped where the ramp met the curb, and suffered a fractured elbow requiring two surgeries. This case was settled prior to jury deliberations. Award: $250,000.

The record speaks for itself. Let us speak for your right to safe environments too.
