Premise Liability / Slip and Fall

A free initial consultation is always available from our experienced slip/trip and fall attorneys. Property owners and possessors (tenants) have a legal duty to use certain levels of care in the maintenance of their properties. When a landowner or tenant knew or should have known about a defect such as a slippery condition, ice, broken step, or other dangerous conditions, they can be held liable for any injuries you sustain ss a result of falling from this condition. If that condition occurred on property owned by a public entity such as Suffolk County, Brookhaven Town, or a School District, there are additional requirements and shorter time limits built into the law. Therefore, you need to contact Barbera and McElhone, P.C., experienced quality, local slip and fall attorneys right away to protect your rights when you have fallen.
