The owner of residential or commercial property has a legal duty to use a reasonable standard of care to maintain the premises in a way that minimizes the risk of injury to others. If you are hurt because a property holder has failed to meet this standard, you may have a claim for compensation based on what is known as "premises liability."
When you have been injured on someone else's property, you want an experienced lawyer to help you understand whether you have a claim, and to take the necessary action to help you get full and fair compensation for all your injuries.
At the law offices of Irom, Wittels, Freund, Berne & Serra, P.C., we have fought for the rights of injured people in and around the Bronx since 1961. We have obtained numerous multimillion dollar judgments and settlements for our clients, working closely with expert witnesses and private investigators to prepare strong and persuasive cases for maximum compensation for your injuries.
