Statute of Limitations and Other Deadlines Apply in Fall Injury Cases
Generally, the statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits in New York State is three years under CPLR § 214. This sets the deadline for filing a lawsuit and holding the landowner responsible. This is an important date to keep in mind.
It also pays to know that there are exceptions to this rule, and they could apply in your case. For example, imagine you fell in a municipal building. Different rules apply to suing a municipality, so you might only have a few months to notify them of your intent to file a case.
Your Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. attorney can determine any and all deadlines that apply to your case if we represent you.

Understanding the Common Hazards that Cause Fall Injuries
If you slipped or tripped and fell in East Hampton, you are not alone.
Many types of hazards can cause falls, and almost all of them are preventable. In cases when the hazard cannot be removed, such as a step-up, the landowner can clearly mark it with signage or reflective tape.
Some common fall hazards include:
- Spills, leaks, and tracked water
- Rolled rugs and carpets
- Poor cleaning or waxing technique
- Slippery surfaces
- Lack of handrails, banisters, or railings
- Broken handrails or railings
- Items in the walkway
- Holes in the flooring or pavement
- Cracked sidewalks
- Uneven flooring
- Uneven or unmarked steps
If the landowner knew about the hazard that caused your fall, if an employee knew about it, or if they should have reasonably been aware, they may be responsible for your damages related to your injuries. Most businesses have liability insurance policies to cover these costs, and homeowner insurance usually covers personal injuries that occur in falls.
To learn how Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. can help you seek a settlement based on one of these policies, call us about your fall in East Hampton today at (631) 451-7900.
