Your biggest concern when entering a New York restaurant, nightclub, or bar should be finding a good table or spot on the dance floor. No one enters an establishment expecting to suffer an injury as a result of dangerous property conditions. Unfortunately, this happens more often than most people realize. In fact, the New York Department of Health estimates that fall injuries account for $1.3 billion in state hospitalizations.
If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident caused by a dangerous condition, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and damages. A New York slip and fall injury caused by dangerous conditions in a restaurant, bar, or nightclub lawyer can help you pursue compensation for your injury-related losses.

Establishments Must Provide Safe Conditions
Bars, restaurants, and nightclubs operate with an expectation of visitors entering the property. Therefore, it is the legal responsibility of owners and operators to ensure visitors’ safety at all times. This means cleaning spills within a reasonable amount of time, making sure that floorboards are even, providing sufficient lighting, and warning customers when dangerous conditions are present.
New York State mandates that all businesses adhere to a set of premises liability regulations. Any injury that occurs on a business’s property could give rise to a personal injury claim or lawsuit. If a fatality occurs on another party’s property, then certain parties could file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. Interested claimants can call Dansker & Aspromonte Associates to learn more.

Negotiating a Settlement
After we have conducted a careful and thorough review of the evidence in your case and you have been advised of the strengths and weaknesses of your case, our lawyers will discuss the possibility of an amicable settlement that is fair and just.
Many claims are resolved before trial but some require a trial before a jury. In order to pursue the best resolution for you, Dansker & Aspromonte Associates lawyers prepare every case for trial to signal to the other side that if their negotiations are not reasonable, we will proceed to trial before a jury in Court.
Presenting Your Case At Trial, if Necessary
During the legal process, it is ultimately your decision whether to accept a settlement before trial, if a settlement offer is made during your lawsuit or claim. Our lawyers will provide advice based upon our decades of experience on whether you should accept any offer of settlement.
When the parties cannot agree to a settlement, the law permits you to present your evidence before a jury at trial in court.
