Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Re: Personal Injury

Generally, you can certainly hold back rent for a dangerous defect such as that. However, there are notice issues and facts that I need before I can determine that for sure. Do you need an attorney handling the personal injury case. If you have any questions call me, Pasquale Calcagno, Esq. for a free consultation at 1(800)WE-FIGHT and visit us on the web at www.1800wefight.com.

You need to file an accident report with your landlord.

Are you still see a doctor?

Holding back on your rent is not a good idea.

Re: Personal Injury

Why don't you consider making a claim for pain and suffering? Does the landlord have insurance? You should take photos of the broken step. I handle these type of cases so feel free to contact me.

As for your question, if you withhold rent, the landlord may sue to evict you. Its possible you will get a rent reduction but not certain. In addition, you may have to pay the landlord's legal bills.

Re: Personal Injury

You have several different options including suing for pain and suffering, as well as withholding rent and arranging for an inspection of the property for conditions which may constitute a breach of your warranty of hability. Please contact me to discuss this matter further.

Re: Personal Injury

I would not recommend withholding rent as your landlord may initiate eviction proceedings. You may wish to bring a lawsuit for personal injuries. There are a few questions which must be answered: when did the accident happen? did you go to the hospital? did you make any prior complaints to the landlord regarding the condition? Feel free to contact me to further discuss this.
