Whether you’re working, shopping, or just going about your daily routine, slipping and falling is something you probably don’t give a second thought until it happens to you. Though often overlooked, slip and fall incidents can lead to severe physical consequences and financial challenges.

TopDog Law can help you find a trusted partner in your pursuit of justice and a legal stronghold to support you through this difficult time.
In a word, these accidents occur due to negligence. Slip and fall accidents involve legal liability when a person is injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions. These conditions could arise from a variety of preventable hazards. The liability for these accidents often rests with the owner of the property or the party responsible for its maintenance. Their duty is to ensure the property is free from dangerous conditions or to provide adequate warnings if any exist.
Some common hazards that lead to slip and fall accidents include:
For a successful slip and fall claim, your lawyer must prove that the owner was negligent in their duty to maintain safe conditions or warn of known hazards. An experienced slip and fall attorney will assess the specific circumstances of your case and guide you through establishing this liability as well as determining what your legal avenues for compensation are.
Slip and fall accidents can lead to severe and life-altering injuries. These injuries can not only affect one’s physical health but can also strain emotional well-being and finances. Fortunately, victims can seek compensation for these tangible losses, as well as non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
Some of the injuries you can pursue compensation for include:
In the Bronx, as with the rest of New York State, the statute of limitations for slip and fall accidents is generally three years, meaning you have a limited time to initiate a lawsuit against the responsible party or parties. If you fail to file your claim within this period, you risk losing your right to pursue compensation for your injuries.
If the slip and fall accident occurred on property owned by a city, county, or state entity, the timeframe to file a claim may be significantly shorter, often requiring a notice of claim within 90 days of the incident. Consult with an experienced slip and fall attorney as soon as possible after your accident.
The intricacies of New York’s laws, coupled with the strategies that insurance companies might employ to limit their payout, can make the path to rightful compensation after a slip and fall accident seem daunting. This is where an experienced lawyer becomes invaluable.
Your attorney can help decipher the complexities of your case, identifying whether there was clear negligence on the property owner's part. They will meticulously investigate the circumstances of your accident, gathering evidence, and documenting the details that can establish liability.
Negotiations with insurance companies can be particularly challenging. These entities often have their team of lawyers and adjusters aiming to minimize their liability. An experienced slip and fall attorney knows how to counteract these tactics, ensuring you aren't shortchanged. If negotiations don't lead to a satisfactory settlement, your lawyer will advocate passionately on your behalf, aiming to secure the best possible outcome.
There are legal timelines and deadlines, such as the statute of limitations, that dictate when you can file a lawsuit. Your lawyer will ensure you meet these critical dates, preserving your rights to seek damages.
Engaging the services of a powerful slip and fall accident attorney comes at no upfront cost to you. Our network attorneys operate on a contingency fee agreement, which means you pay them only if they successfully secure compensation on your behalf. In other words, their fees are derived from a percentage of the settlement or award you receive. If there’s no recovery, there’s no fee. This approach ensures that your attorney’s interests align with yours, and it allows victims of slip and fall accidents to seek justice without the burden of immediate legal expenses.
