Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Re: liability

More likely then not the landlord is responsible.

You have not stated whether the steps and the handrail met the New York State Building Codes and the local codes. I also don't know how the handrail was faulty. Was it loose?, was it too low?

These are some of the questions that I would have to know before I can give you a better answer.

Act now, there are certain time limitations involved in bringing an action against the landlord, and pictures should be taken to preserve the evidence.

If you would like my assistance, plese feel free to contact me.

Re: liability

It is very possible and likely that your landlord is responsible and liable for your injuries. Surely he is insured and his insurance company would cover it. You would likely need to initiate leghal action.

We are very experienced in handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
