Frequently Asked Questions About Premises Liability in White Plains and Throughout New York

Are my rights to compensation affected if I may have been partly at fault for my injuries?

Many business and property owners try to avoid liability for injuries someone suffered on their premises by arguing that the accident victim’s negligence contributed to the accident or that the injured victim assumed the risk of injury. However, under New York’s pure comparative negligence law, you may still pursue a compensation claim even if you bear some share of responsibility due to your partial fault or assumption of the risk. But your compensation may be reduced in proportion to the share of fault you are found to have for your injuries. The White Plains premises liability lawyers at Marvin A. Cooper, P.C., will work hard to argue against any claims that you bear some fault for the premises liability accident so you receive a maximum financial recovery. 

How long do I have to pursue compensation after suffering injuries due to a hazardous condition on someone else’s premises?

According to New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules Section 214, you have three years to file a lawsuit to recover compensation for injuries you suffered due to a property or business owner’s negligence. Filing a lawsuit after this statute of limitations expires on your claim may result in the permanent dismissal of your claim. Reach out to the property injury attorneys in White Plains, NY, of Marvin A. Cooper, P.C., as soon as possible to make sure you preserve your rights to recover compensation for your injuries and losses.
