Premises liability law in New York states that property owners and occupiers are responsible for keeping their premises safe for visitors. This includes:

Identifying and fixing hazards: Property owners should regularly check for and repair issues like broken stairs, damaged glass, and security issues.

Posting warning signs: Property owners should post signs to warn visitors of dangerous areas.
Taking other safety measures: Property owners should take other steps to reduce the risk of injury, such as using ice melt, clearing debris, and providing security measures.

Property owners can be held liable for injuries that occur on their property if they fail to meet these responsibilities.

This includes slip and fall accidents, but also other injuries caused by unsafe conditions.
Some things to keep in mind about premises liability law in New York include:

There are exceptions for landowners, especially if the injured person was acting illegally.

It can be difficult to determine who is at fault, such as in the case of construction site injuries.
Injured parties usually have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.
Circumstantial evidence, such as witness testimony and expert opinion, can be used to strengthen a plaintiff's case.
Both parties often seek legal counsel to assess the claims and present their arguments in court.
