Experienced New York City Premises Liability Attorneys

Anyone who owns or occupies property must maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition, keeping it free from dangerous or defective conditions. Landlords must provide adequate security to their tenants and keep their units free of hazardous lead paint conditions, which can poison children. Property owners must keep their premises, parking lots, and sidewalks free of defects, snow and ice, liquid spills and other conditions that can cause dangerous slips or trips.

Sullivan & Brill, LLP is committed to helping people throughout the New York City area who have suffered serious injuries due to the negligence of property owners, whether the injuries stem from fall down accidents, rapes or assaults due to inadequate security or lead poisoning. You can speak to attorney Joseph F. Sullivan free of charge about your situation. If the firm takes your case, it will do all work on a contingency basis, charging no attorneys’ fees until a positive verdict or settlement is reached.

Slip and Fall Attorneys

Slips or trips and falls are one of the leading causes of injury in New York City. A person or corporation that owns or leases property has a duty to maintain it in a safe condition. Unleveled, cracked, broken, or slippery surfaces can lead to serious accidents. Insurance companies and corporations often blame such accidents on the accident victim and refuse to provide any compensation for medical bills, lost wages or pain and suffering. Often an accident victim must hire an attorney to file suit to force the property owner’s insurance company to provide compensation. The experienced slip and fall attorneys at Sullivan & Brill can ensure that you get the compensation to which you are entitled. 

Lead Poisoning Attorneys

Lead poisoning is one of the most common conditions afflicting children, and yet it is completely preventable. Property owners need only remove dangerous lead paint from their units. When they fail to do so, children get lead dust on their hands, which they then put into their mouths, giving them lead poisoning. They sometimes also consume peeling, chipping, and flaking paint, or breathe in lead dust. As a result of lead poisoning, children may suffer from learning disabilities, loss of IQs, brain damage, attention deficit disorder (ADD), hyperactivity, antisocial behavior or even death.

Sullivan & Brill, LLP has extensive experience as lead poisoning lawyers. They are devoted to families who have seen their children hurt by negligent landlords, and will readily file suit throughout New York City (Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island), Nassau County, Suffolk County, and Westchester County.

Negligent Security

A landlord has a duty to provide adequate security to its tenants. This duty may encompass properly working locks and intercom systems. The landlord’s failure to fulfill this duty can result in tenants being raped, assaulted or the victim of other crime. If an intruder gains access to an apartment building due to the landlord’s failure to provide adequate security and causes injury to a tenant or tenant’s guest, the victim may be entitled to compensation from the landlord.

If you or a loved one has had such a horrible experience, Sullivan & Brill can assist you by investigating the circumstances of the attack and filing suit against the responsible parties. With its emphasis on both criminal and personal injury law, the firm is particularly positioned to effectively handle such cases.
