If your friend recently invited you over to his or her house and you were injured, either in a slip and fall or otherwise, and you believe the cause of your injury was your friend’s fault, there is a very good chance you are now seeking financial compensation, however, you do not want to sue your friend, as, after all, he or she is your friend. Please continue reading and reach out to our experienced New York City personal injury attorney to learn more about how we can help you through the process ahead. Here are some of the questions you may have:
What should I do if I am injured on my friend’s property?
If you are injured on your friend’s property, you are most likely very unsure about how to proceed. Fortunately, we are here to tell you that you will most likely be able to recover the compensation you need without having to sue your friend directly. This is because generally when someone is injured on another person’s property, they will sue the person’s insurance company, and not the person directly.
How do I know if I have a valid premises liability claim?
If you were injured on your friend’s property, you must hire an experienced New York City personal injury attorney who can work to determine whether you have a valid personal injury claim. Our firm will analyze each aspect of your case. As long as we can prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the unsafe condition present, failed to fix it timely, and you were injured and incurred significant damages as a result, you will most likely qualify for financial compensation in a personal injury claim.
How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in New York State?
If you are someone who has been injured on another person’s property in New York City, you will have to file your premises liability claim within the state’s statute of limitations, which is three years. If you wait any longer than three years from the date of your accident to sue, you will most likely be barred from doing so. Our firm is here to help you through every step of the claims process ahead today–all you have to do is pick up the phone and give us a call.
