New York Trip and Fall Accidents Lawyers
Falls are a common cause of injury and death in the United States. In fact, falls are one of the most common reasons that young children and senior citizens visit emergency rooms every year. Some trip and fall accidents occur because of negligent property maintenance at apartment buildings, hotels and restaurants. Those types of trip and fall accidents can give rise to a premises liability legal claim that entitles you to money for your lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.

Not all falls lead to a compensable claim. For example, many New Yorkers regularly frequent their neighborhood shops. If you are walking through the produce aisle and trip on grapes that have fallen from a bin, then you may have a premises liability lawsuit -- if the store employees knew or should have known about the grapes and failed to remedy the danger or warn customers. However, if you are walking through the same produce aisle and the child in front of you drops a cucumber that you immediately trip over, then you may not have a valid premises liability claim for your trip and fall accident. The property owner did not know about the danger.
A related premises liability case is a slip and fall. These may involve unsafe conditions created by water or other slippery substances on business floors, sidewalks or hallways. Slip and falls often arise in grocery stores or department stores where food or liquids are spilled on the floors.
The experienced premises liability lawyers of David Resnick & Associates P.C. can help you determine if the facts of your accident meet the New York state legal requirements for a premises liability lawsuit. We encourage you to contact our New York accident attorneys as soon as possible after your accident so that we can provide you with a free, no-obligation consultation. If there is reasonable cause to believe that the property owner created the unsafe condition, or knew about it but did not take steps to protect people on the property, our NY personal injury attorneys may advise you to file a premises liability lawsuit.
We will not be paid unless you recover damages in court or through settlement negotiations. Your possible damages in a trip and fall premises liability claim include medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering and other damages.
