Sidewalk Falls and Premises Liability in New York City
In New York City, property owners must keep the sidewalks and their premises well maintained. When property is not adequately maintained according to legal standards, accidents can happen, and injuries can result.
Because of the unique character of New York City sidewalks, the law on sidewalk falls in the City — the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island — is different from anywhere else in the state.
