The usual suspects
A fall can happen in seconds, but the injuries can last for years. Property owners have a responsibility to keep their spaces reasonably safe. When they don’t, and you get hurt, you may have a claim.
Spilled liquids, dropped produce, cluttered aisles and wet entryways nobody cleaned up.
Greasy floors, wet restroom tiles, loose mats and poorly lit steps.
Unsalted walkways, icy steps and snow left to pile up after a storm.
Broken railings, torn carpet, dark hallways and repairs a landlord kept putting off.
Uneven or broken steps, missing handrails and slippery treads.
Potholes, cracked pavement, ice patches and poor lighting.
Falls on the job, from slick floors to unsafe construction sites.
Hotels, gyms, schools, stadiums and more. Tell us what happened.

Our client slipped and fell, fracturing a hip that needed surgery and breaking a wrist.
I referred my mother to him for a slip and fall and she says he was exceptional. He seemed more hometown than what you’d expect from a big wig from the billboards and radio.James B., client review

Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Have one we didn’t cover? Call us any time.
In most cases, New York gives you three years from the date of the fall to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you fell on property owned by a city, town, county or the State, the deadlines are much shorter, and a notice of claim is often due within 90 days. Don’t wait to get advice.
Usually the owner or manager of the property. To hold them responsible, it generally has to be shown that they knew, or reasonably should have known, about the dangerous condition and had enough time to fix it or warn people. Landlords, tenants, snow removal contractors and businesses can all share responsibility.
Yes. New York follows a comparative negligence rule. Even if you were partly responsible, you may still recover compensation. It is reduced by your share of the fault.
Every case is different. The value depends on how serious your injuries are, your medical costs and lost income, how the injury affects your daily life, and who is responsible. A free case review is the best way to understand your options.
Nothing up front. Your consultation is free, and we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation for you.
Don’t let the trail go cold
Hazards get cleaned up, surveillance footage gets recorded over, and witnesses move on. The sooner you reach out, the sooner our team can start building your case. The call is free, and so is your case review.
