OUR LEGAL SERVICES

The Bàez Legal Group is passionately committed to helping individuals in New York who have experienced unfair injuries in different slip or trip and fall incidents such as:

Stairway Accidents: While not all cases of trips, slips, and falls on stairwells may entitle you to compensation, it’s crucial to recognize that if you suffered an injury due to hazardous stairwell conditions, you might have a valid premises liability claim. Don’t underestimate your rights!
Apartment Accidents: Your home should be a haven of comfort and security. Unfortunately, unforeseen accidents can happen, particularly if you rent and your landlord neglects to provide a safe environment. In these situations, we are dedicated to protecting your rights and fighting for the justice you deserve.
Defective Elevator Accidents: Passengers injured in accidents involving defective elevators are rarely at fault. Unfortunately, when faced with a defective elevator, passengers are often left with no choice but to hope for the best. Our firm is here to provide assistance and support in such situations.
Restaurant Accidents: When you enter a restaurant, the thought of suffering serious injury is likely the furthest thing from your mind. You’d probably just hope for a satisfactory meal.

However, here’s an important fact: restaurant accidents occur more frequently than one might imagine. And if you have been unjustly harmed, guess what? We are here to support you.

Sidewalk Accidents: Sometimes, sidewalk accidents happen when pedestrians get caught up and stumble or slip, resulting in unexpected falls. However, let’s remember that property owners hold the responsibility of ensuring safe sidewalks for all. If you’ve experienced injuries due to hazardous sidewalk conditions, you might have a valid claim. Stay safe and seek the help you deserve!
Grocery Store Accidents: Grocery stores, often considered mundane, hold hidden dangers amidst the bustling aisles and crowded shelves. Negligence from store owners or staff can turn these seemingly ordinary places into hazardous environments.

PROVING A PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIM

If you have sustained injuries in an accident due to the negligence of a property owner and are pursuing financial compensation, our firm will need to establish several key elements to support your claim. They are as follows:

There was a duty of care: First and foremost, an injured individual must establish that they were harmed while on a property where the owner held a legal obligation to guarantee the safety of all who set foot on it.
To establish liability, it is necessary to demonstrate that the property owner violated their duty of care. This entails proving that the property owner neglected to exercise reasonable caution in maintaining a safe premises. It is crucial to establish that the property owner was aware or should have reasonably been aware of the hazardous conditions and failed to rectify them.
To successfully make your case, it is crucial to establish a clear link between the breach of care and your injury. You must demonstrate that the breach directly caused the harm you suffered.

If we can substantiate each of these points, you have a strong chance of prevailing in your personal injury claim and receiving the necessary financial compensation for both the economic and non-economic damages you have suffered as a result of your accident. This can include the following:

Medical expenses encompass a wide range of costs, including surgeries, medications, in-home care, and more. These bills can add up quickly and significantly impact one’s financial wellbeing.
The financial impact of lost wages due to the inability to resume work.
Experiencing emotional trauma, enduring pain and suffering, and losing the ability to enjoy life to the fullest.

Although the compensation you receive cannot turn back time and fully restore everything as it was before your accident, it can offer valuable support to help you overcome the challenges ahead. Our goal is to ensure that you are in a more advantageous position as you move forward.

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

In New York State, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims may vary depending on the location of the incident. Typically, for premises liability claims, you have a three-year window from the date of injury to commence legal proceedings against the responsible property owner. This timeframe provides you with sufficient opportunity to pursue rightful compensation within the confines of the law.

In the event of an injury on municipal property, the window for legal action is often shorter. In New York, injuries sustained on government-owned property must be reported in a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the accident. It is therefore advisable to promptly contact us, allowing us to initiate the claims process without any delay. Rest assured, we will handle your case with utmost diligence and efficiency.
