Long Island Slip-and-Fall Attorneys
The term "premises liability" refers to a property owner's liability for conditions or activities on their premises. Property owners, including municipalities, have a duty to keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to remedy any dangerous conditions that they knew or should have known about. When the failure of property owners to perform their legal duty of inspecting, repairing and maintaining their properties results in serious injuries, they can be held accountable.
