Knowledgeable Representation for Your Slip-And-Fall Case

In New York, slip-and-fall accidents are the most common type of premises liability case. Our experienced attorneys are prepared to assist you with your personal injury claims.

Owners Are Responsible for Their Surroundings

In simple terms, everyone is responsible for ensuring safe conditions, whether it’s a house, an apartment building, or a store. However, this expectation is not always met. For instance, during the winter months, a store must shovel its walkways to keep a clear path for pedestrians. If they fail to do so, you might slip on ice and injure yourself, making them liable for your suffering.

While owners are generally required to maintain their surroundings, there are exceptions. When an issue cannot be immediately addressed or fixed, clear signage must be posted. For example, if there is a spill in a grocery store that cannot be cleaned up right away, signs must be placed around the spill to warn others of the potential hazard. All store owners are required to resolve such issues within a reasonable time frame. If you have any questions about this, it is important to consult with one of our attorneys.
