Some of the common types of premises liability cases in New York City involve, for example, sidewalk defects. You have your trips and falls, slips and falls on municipal sidewalks. Most often times in the city, the adjacent property owner is responsible for the sidewalk, depending on whether it’s a commercial property or residential property. Some other types of premises liability cases include slip and falls, whether it’s inside a building or outside on the street. Potentially, cases involving negligence security, anything where you sustain an injury at someone else’s property also fall into this category.
