Premises Liability and Building Code - Samantha Kucher

BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Kucher Law Group - In this episode, we explore the critical intersection of "Premises Liability and Building Code." Understanding premises liability is essential for property owners and occupiers, as it holds them responsible for accidents and injuries on their property due to negligence. Adherence to building codes plays a pivotal role in maintaining safe conditions and protecting public health. Failing to comply with these codes can significantly impact a property owner's legal standing in the event of an accident, making every detail crucial in the eyes of the law.
We discuss the fundamentals of premises liability, focusing on its definition, the essential elements of a claim, and the legal principles that govern such cases in New York. For instance, property owners must maintain their premises to ensure safety, encompassing issues from slip and fall accidents to structural collapses. A Brooklyn premises liability lawyer can provide the necessary guidance to navigate these complex cases, ensuring that property owners meet their duty of care to tenants and visitors.
Building codes are a key aspect of premises liability cases. The New York State Building Code sets the standards for design, construction, and maintenance of buildings. Compliance with these codes is not just best practice but a legal requirement. Issues such as inadequate lighting, faulty electrical systems, and fire safety violations are common hazards that can lead to premises liability claims. Understanding and adhering to these codes can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and subsequent legal actions.
