Slip & Fall Accidents in NYC
New York City Personal Injury Attorney
A major part of operating a premises is maintaining it and ensuring that the environment is safe for people to safely navigate. By keeping the facility clean and free of dangerous elements, the owner helps protect visitors entering the site, employees working there, custodial staff and the general public from harm. However when an owner doesn't properly maintain the site, they put everyone there at risk of slipping, falling or other potential accidents. Slips and falls may not seem like a big deal, but they can lead to catastrophic
injuries and long-term medical damage. Injuries can include broken necks,
damaged spines, brain damage,
broken bones and other horrific injuries. If you have been injured by slipping or falling at a facility, don't think that it was just an isolated incident that is your fault. Immediately contact a
New York City personal injury attorney in order to discuss what occurred and how to proceed with legal action against the owner for their
negligence. We fully support our clients in their efforts to obtain justice for their pain and suffering and will work tirelessly to secure financial compensation for their injuries.
New York City Personal Injury Lawyer
Slips and fall can occur because liquid on the ground wasn't marked, a construction hole was left uncovered and without proper warning signs, a slick floor wasn't identified as being dangerous and other such scenarios. Having the owners simply say that they weren't aware of the problem isn't a proper defense and they can have charges filed against them for failing to provide a safe environment. We represent clients in cases involving snow & ice,
wet floors,
slippery surfaces, and
trip & fall injury cases.
Slips and falls can cost you thousands of dollars in medical bills and can even require you to take a leave of absence from work, thus further adding to the financial damage you are left to deal with. By pursuing legal action, you take a stand against those who left you at risk and fight for the financial compensation you rightly deserve.
