Re: Homeowner Liability
Both co-owners are strictly liable for injuries that occurred due to defects on their property that they should reasonably have known about. In order to assess your exposure, I would have to know how the injury occurred and the details of the victim's employment. Feel free to call me at 212-367-9167 to discuss this further.
