Slip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injury cases in New York City. Icy and unmaintained sidewalks in the Bronx and Brooklyn, poorly lit stairwells in residential buildings, wet floors in commercial properties across Queens and Manhattan — dangerous conditions exist throughout this city. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail, people get hurt. Insurance companies often use delay and denial tactics to minimize these claims and shift blame onto injured people. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From crumbling stoops and iced-over sidewalks on Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, to poorly maintained stairwells in residential buildings throughout Mott Haven and Hunts Point, to neglected commercial properties in Brooklyn and Queens — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in this city and who is responsible for them. Lincoln Medical Center and Jacobi Medical Center treat serious fall injuries from our communities regularly. Those accidents cause real damage to New York families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics — and try to argue that the dangerous condition was obvious or that it was your fault. In New York City, government property cases require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. We know how to leverage the justice system in Bronx County Supreme Court and across New York courts to fight back and prove otherwise.
IMPORTANT NEW YORK LEGAL INFORMATION — SLIP AND FALL
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from the date of injury.
Government Property (Critical): Fall on city property — sidewalk, subway station, NYCHA building, public school — requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days or your case may be permanently barred.
Property Owner Liability: Owner must have created the condition, known about it, or should have known with reasonable care — and had a reasonable time to fix it.
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 because they count on most people not knowing what their slip and fall case is actually worth. They may use delay, deny, and lowball tactics and try to shift blame onto the injured person. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery — and move immediately on government property cases to protect the 90-day Notice of Claim deadline.
