are walking on someone else’s property

to traverse

someone does not
act in the manner in which they are
supposed to if a sidewalk is raised or
there’s a pothole in the middle of the
street or there’s an uneven floor so in
the event that you are injured because

Brooklyn, NY personal injury attorney Jordan Jodré explains premises liability and how it works. He remarks that premises liability is essentially the right a person has to be safe while walking on someone else’s property—whether in a store, on the street, or along a sidewalk. Property owners, renters, or operators have a legal duty to maintain the premises up to code to ensure it is safe for people to traverse. Liability arises when they fail to meet this duty—for example, if a sidewalk is raised, a pothole exists in the street, or a floor is uneven. If someone is injured as a result of such negligence, that individual has the right to pursue legal action and seek compensation through the courts.
