At NY, we frequently receive calls from injured people who believe a state or local government agency is the reason for their injuries. It would be best if you worked with an experienced and talented litigator in cases involving dangerous conditions on public property because there are several legal nuances that your attorney must be aware of to present a claim against a public entity successfully.

City and state governments are responsible for dangerous conditions on public property. As a result, if these conditions are not properly addressed, any accident, injury, or death that occurs will be the responsibility of the city or state government.

- Crosswalks
- Sidewalks
- Schoolyards
- Concert halls
- Stairways
- Highways Parks for the public
- Intersections

Your claim may be permanently barred if you do not file your claims notice timely. And because of the shortened time frames, you must contact an experienced attorney immediately following your injury.
