Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Accident suit

On March 10, 2005, I fell due to the negligence of my landlord in New York. I did collect some money through her homeowner's insurance. My injury is quite extensive and due to the severity I have had another fall. My left has a metal plate and is extensively weak and goes numb on occasion. Can I sue her again? I now live in Nevada. Can I get any disabilty? I do not have a job due to my second fall.

Re: Accident suit

Unless the fall was on property owned by the original landlord, and they caused a negligent condition that made you fall the second time, no you cannot sue them, you released them from any future liability upon the condition of settling the first case.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
