Right of Slip-and-Fall and Trip-and-Fall Victims in New York

If you have suffered an injury in a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident on someone else’s property, you may be able to seek compensation for your injuries, damages and losses. A skilled personal injury attorney can review the circumstances of the accident to determine if negligence played a part in the incident and who should be held liable for the losses suffered.
Property owners are legally obligated to provide safe conditions for all visitors to their premises. Numerous potential hazards exist that could lead to premises liability claims including broken stairs, loose railings, slippery floors, bunched up carpeting, debris on walkways, and lack of proper lighting.
There are several questions that must be asked after an injury accident in order to determine if negligence was a factor. Was the property owner aware of the dangerous conditions and the problems, but failed to fix it? Did he or she fail to post warning signs? Did the property owner, manager or the superintendent ignore the hazards? The answers to these and other questions can help determine if the property owner was negligent. If that was the case, he or she can be held liable for the injuries, damages and losses caused.
A premises liability claim is a civil lawsuit that injured victims may file to hold negligent property owners accountable for the injuries suffered in a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident. Injured victims can claim damages including, but not limited to, medical expenses, loss of wages and benefits, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, past and future pain and suffering and emotional distress.
