Falls Can Happen Fast—We Help You Recover Afterward

Slip and fall accidents are more common than most people think—and they’re often preventable. If you were injured because of unsafe stairs, wet floors, icy sidewalks, or another hazardous condition, you may be entitled to compensation. We represent clients in New York City and the Greater Hudson Valley who were hurt on someone else’s property and need help navigating the next steps.

Where Falls Commonly Happen

We handle fall injury cases involving:

  • Grocery stores, restaurants & retail spaces
  • Apartment buildings, lobbies, & stairwells
  • Office buildings & commercial property
  • Sidewalks, parking lots & driveways
  • Public housing & transit areas (MTA stations, bus stops)

Whether your injury happened in a Manhattan high-rise or outside a business in Kingston, we’ll help determine who was responsible and how to hold them accountable.

Property Owners Have a Legal Duty

Under New York law, property owners and managers must keep their spaces reasonably safe. If they fail to fix or warn about dangerous conditions—and someone gets hurt—they can be held liable for the injuries. This includes things like:

A black and white icon of a wet floor sign.
Wet floors with no warning sign
A black and white drawing of a staircase with a railing.
Loose handrails or uneven stairs
A black and white drawing of a set of stairs on a white background.
Poor lighting in stairwells
A black and white drawing of a snowflake on a white background.
Ice or snow that wasn’t cleared in time
A black and white drawing of a stick figure walking on a line.
Cracked sidewalks or loose floor tiles

We’ll investigate what happened, gather evidence (photos, incident reports, witness statements), and build a case that shows negligence and damages.

Injuries That May Seem “Minor” Can Add Up

 Falls often cause more damage than people realize. We represent clients with:

  • Sprains, strains & torn ligaments
  • Broken bones
  • Concussions or head injuries
  • Back, neck, or spinal injuries
  • Hip or shoulder injuries
  • Long-term mobility issues

Even a “simple fall” can lead to serious pain, surgery, or missed work. We make sure those effects are fully documented and accounted for in your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I have a case if I fell on someone else’s property?

    Possibly. To win a slip and fall case, we must show that the property owner knew (or should have known) about the danger and didn’t fix it in time. We’ll review the facts and let you know where you stand.

  • What should I do after a fall injury?

    Report the incident to the property owner or manager, take photos if possible, and get medical attention right away. Then contact a lawyer—preserving evidence early makes a big difference.

  • Can I still sue if I was partially at fault?

    Yes. New York uses comparative negligence, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible—though your compensation may be reduced.

  • How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?

    Generally, three years from the date of the injury—but if the fall happened on public property, the deadline could be much shorter. Talk to a lawyer right away to avoid missing your window.
