Slip & Fall Accidents

 

Slip and fall accidents cause a multitude of injuries each year and are second only to motor vehicle accidents as a cause of accidental deaths.

 

Our New York premises liability attorneys at Silberstein, Awad & Miklos, P.C. have been representing individuals injured as a result of trip, slip and fall accidents involving negligence by retail stores, apartment buildings, government offices, municipalities and others for over 20 years. We have been successful in obtaining full, fair and just compensation in meritorious cases for many clients throughout New York metropolitan and Long Island communities.

 

We have successfully represented many clients who have suffered fractures of an ankle, tears in the soft tissue of a knee and fractures involving the hip joint. When such falls involve a municipality, the litigation can be extensive, but we are committed to obtaining a just and fair recovery, no matter how long the process may take. Each client's case involves unique aspects and must succeed on its own merits in order to be entitled to monetary compensation.

 

Accidents involving a slip, trip or fall may be caused by sidewalks, stairs and walkways that are snowy, icy or wet, or may involve a variety of defects such as food and foreign substances on floors in restaurants and supermarkets, trips over badly aligned sidewalk edges or cracks or stairs that are either poorly lit, have a faulty railing or are in poor condition.

 

Helpful Advice

If you are injured in a slip, trip or fall accident, it is important that your family, a loved one or a trusted friend helps you preserve the evidence as soon as possible. Take a picture of where the accident occurred, since dangerous conditions that cause a person to slip, trip or fall can easily and quickly be cleaned up or fixed. The loss of physical evidence makes a slip and fall case much more difficult to prove than other cases. Record the condition at the time of your fall. The photographs may show the presence or absence of mats, rugs or slip prevention materials at the location. Take photographs of signs and lighting fixtures that are in the area of the location of the accident. Your goal is to record and preserve the scene of the accident and all the surrounding conditions as completely as possible.
