Contact us to find an attorney near you to help you turn this unfortunate circumstance into a path toward recovery and justice.
Slip and fall accidents generally fall into the area of personal injury law known as “premises liability.” In New York, there are various laws that govern exactly when and how a property owner is liable for these types of accidents. For example, the “Multiple Dwelling Law” may apply to your case if a landlord fails to properly maintain a building they own. Other state statutes regulate the conditions for sidewalks and public areas. It’s vital to consult an attorney who is knowledgeable about the laws relevant to your case to seek compensation.
Slip and fall accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries. The nature and severity of these injuries often depend on various factors, such as the age of the victim, the condition of the surface, and the manner of the fall. Here are some of the most common injuries resulting from such incidents:
While many of these injuries might heal over time, some can have lasting implications, affecting one’s quality of life or leading to chronic pain and disability. You must seek medical attention immediately after a slip and fall, even if the injuries seem minor initially. Some complications may not manifest right away but can have serious repercussions if not treated promptly.
In New York, victims of slip and fall accidents are entitled to seek compensation for the damages they’ve incurred due to someone else’s negligence or failure to maintain a safe environment. The extent and nature of your injuries, as well as the circumstances of the accident, play a significant role in determining the value of your claim. You may be eligible to recover compensation due to:
In order to successfully establish liability for your accident, your trusted attorney will have to build a strong case in your favor. Premises liability claims generally rest on four components.
Firstly, your lawyer must establish that the property owner or manager had a duty to ensure the safety of the premises. For instance, store owners have an obligation to provide a safe environment for their customers.
Once you establish the duty of care, you must demonstrate that the property owner or manager failed in that duty. This could be shown through evidence like surveillance footage of a hazard being present for a significant time without being addressed or records of similar previous incidents.
This element connects the breach of duty directly to your accident. In other words, your attorney must prove that the hazard or negligence was the direct cause of your slip and fall.
Finally, there must be actual damages—physical, emotional, or financial—resulting from the fall. Medical records, photos of injuries, and receipts for out-of-pocket expenses are some of the proofs that can support this claim.
A slip and fall derail your life, but you don’t have to face the future alone. With TopDog Law by your side, you gain access to a dedicated advocate in your area who is ready to ensure that justice is served and that you’re fairly compensated for your injuries and suffering.
