How We Navigate New York's Complex Legal Requirements

Law Office of Seni Popat, P.C. leverages deep knowledge of New York's specific premises liability laws to strengthen your case and protect your rights:

• Overcoming Comparative Negligence Defenses: Insurance companies often claim you were partially at fault to reduce their payout. We counter these tactics by thoroughly documenting the property owner's negligence and minimizing any alleged fault on your part. Even when shared fault exists, we fight to maximize your recovery under New York's comparative negligence rules.
• Meeting Critical Deadlines: We ensure your case is filed within New York's three-year statute of limitations. For claims against government entities like NYC Housing Authority, we act swiftly to file the required Notice of Claim within the strict 90-day deadline — a requirement that catches many injured parties off guard.
• Establishing Duty of Care: We carefully analyze your legal status on the property (customer, invited guest, or licensee) to establish the highest possible duty of care owed to you, strengthening your claim for compensation.

Our experience with New York's legal framework allows us to anticipate challenges and prepare comprehensive cases from the outset.

Fighting for Every Dollar You Deserve

Injuries from unsafe property often have far-reaching consequences beyond immediate medical bills. We work to help clients recover damages that address the full scope of their losses:

Economic Damages:

Non-Economic Damages:

Our goal is to pursue compensation that addresses both current needs and future impacts of your injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a premises liability claim in New York? 

In New York, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the injury. If your case involves government-owned property, you may need to file a notice of claim within 90 days. We can guide you through these time-sensitive requirements.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident? 

New York follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. 

Will my case go to trial? 

Many premises liability cases are resolved through settlement negotiations. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial and have extensive courtroom experience when litigation becomes necessary.

What does it cost to hire your firm? 

We handle premises liability cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf.

How do you determine what my case is worth? 

Case value depends on factors including the severity of injuries, extent of medical treatment, impact on your ability to work, pain and suffering, and the degree of the property owner's negligence. We carefully evaluate all these elements to pursue maximum compensation.
