New York Slip & Fall Attorneys • Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can happen on sidewalks, in city parks, inside or outside businesses, in parking lots, at work, or on construction sites. Simply put, you can trip, slip, and get hurt anywhere.

However, winning a slip and fall lawsuit requires proving that the property owner or person responsible for the premises acted negligently. This means showing that something they did—or failed to do—directly caused your fall and consequent injuries, which is often challenging to prove.

Who Is Liable for Slip & Fall Accidents in New York?

➤ Slip and fall accidents often occur in stores, commercial spaces, or public buildings.

➤ But who is responsible for your injuries? Who should you file a personal injury claim against?

Liability for Slip and Fall Accidents on Public Sidewalks

Read more

Public sidewalks are typically owned by a city, making it potentially liable for accidents.

However, the law also places specific responsibilities on the owners or managers of premises adjacent to these sidewalks where the defective condition existed. Businesses and property owners are required to maintain the sidewalks in front of their premises in reasonably safe condition.

Generally, a store or building owner isn’t held responsible for slip and fall injuries on a public sidewalk owned by the city in front of the business or building.

However, there are exceptions. Courts may hold property owners liable if the sidewalk is directly connected to their premises and they didn’t report any problems or hazards to the city.

An experienced slip and fall lawyer can determine whether to file a lawsuit against the city, the property owner, or both.

Note: A fall accident at a train station may be due to poor maintenance from the MTA. In such cases, consult our expert attorneys specializing in train and subway accident claims to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Slip & Fall Accidents at Construction Sites in NY

➤ Day laborers working on construction sites as well as pedestrians passing by them must be careful to avoid suffering injuries on a slip or trip accident.

Working at heights poses extra risks—stronger winds and slippery surfaces on a ladder, roof, or scaffolding increase the danger of falls.

In the winter, hidden materials buried under rubble or snow can also lead to serious trip-and-fall injuries.

At our New York law firm, we handle slip and fall construction accident cases on an almost daily basis.

We’ve successfully defended our clients’ rights and recovered millions for their injuries.

Construction workers – particularly undocumented ones – believe they do not have rights to further compensation beyond what workers comp offers.

They listen and believe in their “jefes” promises of help, advice and warnings. They have faith that their employer will come through for them by paying their hospital bills and treatment expenses. Only to find out, when it is too late, that their “jefe” decided not to pay all of the medical costs or that he will pay them “eventually” and they must get into debt to pay those hospital bills.

👉 Even worse, another subcontractor may have been responsible for the accident, meaning the injured worker could have pursued a claim beyond standard workers’ compensation. In such cases, they might have recovered significantly more money for their injuries through a third-party liability claim. 👈

  • The consultation with our New York slip and fall attorneys is free and confidential. Your “jefe” will NEVER find out about this conversation or that you were searching for legal advice.
  • It does not create a client-attorney relationship because it’s a no-obligation consultation.
  • The state of New York has special labor laws for construction workers that allow for compensation, even if you believe your employer is responsible.

📌 Fall injuries in New York or Long Island must be analyzed by a lawyer with experience in construction accident cases to assess and help you choose the options that benefit you the most.

Our premise liability lawyers have successfully helped victims of slip and fall accidents get compensation for their injuries. Call Today.

New York Premise Liability Lawyers: Commercial or Residential Properties

Businesses as well as residential buildings must keep halls, entrances, elevators and stairs in reasonably safe conditions.

But when are these conditions considered unsafe or dangerous? 🩼🚑

Slip and Fall Claims: Water, Ice or Snow outside a Building

Business owners are responsible for cleaning up accumulations of water, snow or ice on the sidewalk in front of their facilities in a reasonable manner and time.

Failure to do so increases their liability when there are injuries for slipping on water, snow or ice outside their premises.

▻ Their liability will depend on how long it has been between the moment the dangerous condition was formed, and the moment the area was cleaned or cleared. And this responsibility is based not only on the moment in which the area is cleared, but if it was performed with reasonable care.

Personal Injury Claim: Inadequate Exterior Lighting

Poor lighting can lead to dangerous falls. Accidents may happen in parking lots, on steps or stairways, at store entrances, as well as due to holes, cracks, or uneven surfaces that are difficult to see clearly in the dark.

▻ Property managers may be held responsible if they knew—or should have known—about the bad lighting conditions and failed to remedy the situation.

Slip & Fall Attorneys: Parking Lots

The parking lot owner is responsible for maintaining the property in a reasonably safe condition for their patrons. This includes repairing cracks and potholes, as well as preventing or removing hazards like standing water, snow, or ice in a reasonable manner and time.

Additionally, any changes in elevation between sections of the lot should be gradual rather than abrupt to minimize the risk of trips, slips, and falls.

Why do Slip and Fall Accidents occur more Frequently in the Winter in New York?

During the winter, injuries from slips and falls in New York or Long Island are more common due to low temperatures and accumulations of snow and ice in parking lots, sidewalks, stairs and floors.

Surfaces become more slippery and the risk of a slip and fall increases. Maintenance and clean ups should happen more often.

These falls can cause serious injuries, such as concussions, bone fractures and herniated discs.
