Slip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injury cases in Buffalo. Poorly maintained commercial properties throughout the East Side, Cold Spring, Fillmore, and Lovejoy, crumbling and icy sidewalks across Buffalo's older neighborhoods during harsh Western New York winters, and negligent property management across Erie County create injury risks every day. New York's 90-day Notice of Claim requirement for government entity cases makes acting immediately essential. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From poorly maintained commercial properties on Fillmore Avenue to crumbling sidewalks throughout Cold Spring and Lovejoy to icy steps and uncleared walkways across the East Side during Buffalo's harsh winters — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in Buffalo and who is responsible for them. Erie County Medical Center treats serious fall injuries regularly. Those accidents cause real damage to Buffalo families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across Erie County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics and try to shift blame onto the injured person. NFTA station and City of Buffalo property falls require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. We know how to leverage the justice system in Erie County courts to fight back.
IMPORTANT NEW YORK LEGAL INFORMATION — SLIP AND FALL
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from the date of injury.
Government Property (Critical): A fall on City of Buffalo property, Erie County property, NFTA Metro station, or any public building requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days.
Buffalo Sidewalk Liability: In Buffalo, the City itself is responsible for maintaining many sidewalks, but abutting property owners are often responsible for maintenance.
Property Owner Liability: Owner must have created the condition, known about it, or should have known with reasonable care.
Comparative Negligence: Pure comparative negligence. Recover even if partly at fault.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for property owners may make early low offers and often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics. TopDog fights for the full recovery — and moves immediately on government property cases to protect the 90-day Notice of Claim deadline.
