Slip or Trip and Fall Injuries

New York Slip, Trip & Fall Lawyer

Manhattan | Suffolk County | Nassau County | Long Island

Slip or Trip and Fall injuries caused by unsafe property conditions are common types of premises liability cases. While many slip and fall accidents result in scrapes, bruises or minor injuries, others lead to broken bones, herniated discs, spinal cord injury, brain injury or even death.

Common hazards that cause slip and falls are:

• spills on retail store floors
• wet floors during mopping
• water, ice or snow on outdoor walkways
• poorly lighted stairways
• broken steps or stairs
• lack of handrails or broken railings
• potholes in parking lots
• obscured holes on the ground
• uneven or cracked sidewalks
• slick wooden ramps
• aisles cluttered with boxes and merchandise

Slip and fall injuries can occur anywhere — indoors, outdoors, and on public or private property. Injuries suffered on another’s property, whether in a home, on a sidewalk or in a commercial building or shop, are often caused by negligent maintenance or even complete disregard for the safety of others. If you have been injured as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall on a parking lot, an icy sidewalk or a defective sidewalk, those responsible may be liable for your injuries.

Property Owner Liability

People who own property have a responsibility to keep their building or land in reasonably safe condition. If a dangerous condition does exist, the owner may be liable for your injuries if he or she knew or should have known that the dangerous condition existed at the time of your accident.

Dangerous property conditions are especially hazardous for the elderly, who are often less stable on their feet and have weakened bones. They are more likely to experience serious injury from a slip and fall.

Many people who slip and fall assume the injury was their fault. However, this is often not the case. Holding the proper party responsible can prevent others from experiencing similar misfortune. Also, because a slip or trip and fall can result in a life threatening situation, dangerous property conditions should not be taken lightly.
