There’s nothing like a backyard barbecue in the summer. But what if you’re injured at such a gathering in the Bronx? Is the homeowner responsible for your injury and could you be entitled to damages?
Some of this is dependent on the circumstances, but the answer is that the host could be liable. If the circumstances are right and you are not at fault for your injury, there are legal protections that entitle you to seek damages.
Feiner & Lavy are among the best Bronx personal injury law firms, and it is our job to protect our clients and ensure they receive the damages they need and deserve to recover from an injury and move forward with their life.
A lot of people are hesitant to even ask a question about suing the host of a backyard party because the host is usually a friend or relative. This is understandable, however that host should be more responsible to you if you suffered an injury at a party at his house.
If you are at a party and there is a large hole in the backyard that you can’t see in darkness and it causes you to trip and fall, or if there are loose boards on steps that lead into the home which lead you to slip and fall, in either case you can be badly injured. A spiral or compound fracture to the one of the bones in your leg could leave you immobilized for months. Further, if the break is really bad, you’ll have to undergo surgery and hospitalization to repair the injury. If you are unable to work during this time, your wages may not be covered. For instance, if you do physical work, your injury may not be covered under your employer’s worker’s compensation policy.
When you read things like this, ask yourself: Is it really so wrong to consult with one of the best Bronx personal injury attorneys at Feiner & Lavy to see if I should explore a lawsuit? Your friend, quite frankly, is probably carrying homeowner’s insurance that will absorb the cost of your claim, not your friend.
The host of a party is responsible for providing a safe environment and looking out for the safety of his guests. This is called premises liability. If someone is hurt by an underage child who has been drinking, this can trigger social host liability, which means the party host, not the underage drinker, is responsible and must pay damages.
