Posted in Premises Liability and tagged by Kenneth A. Wilhelm, Esq.

Slip and FallSlip and fall or trip and fall accidents are one of the most common occurrences resulting in injury, especially among the elderly population. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in slip and fall or trip and fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation. But before you can get the compensation that you deserve, you need to hire a New York premises liability attorney to help you determine who is at fault for your fall.

How to Determine Liability

Determining liability in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident is not an easy task. However, in the majority of cases, even if you failed to pay attention to the object that ultimately caused your fall, the property owner may still be responsible for your injuries.

In determining whether the property owner is responsible for the accident, your New York premises liability attorney will need to examine the specific facts of the situation. An experienced attorney will investigate whether the premises was properly maintained, how long the dangerous condition existed, and whether the owner or the manager of the property was aware or should have been aware of the condition.

Any of these dangerous situations may result in the property owner being liable for your injuries.
