Slip & Fall/Trip & Fall Cases in NY

Slip and fall (and trip and fall) incidents occur more often than one might imagine and cause more harm than people realize. Many slip and fall cases go unreported because victims blame themselves or feel embarrassed. Sometimes a slip and fall is an accident; sometimes it results because of someone else’s negligence.

Handling Slip and Fall and Trip and Fall Cases:

If you suffer an injury due to the negligence of another – such as a property owner or a store owner – you may be entitled to compensation. In fact, it is your right to receive compensation for the injury and your losses. Why should you suffer because of another person’s or company’s negligence?

A large part of our practice is dedicated to slip and fall (and trip and fall) cases. We have seen countless incidents: uneven surfaces, ice and snow, debris and spills and other causes that lead someone to fall. We have developed a rigorous process to investigate these cases and develop a strong case.

We prepare them so we can move these cases as fast as possible while always striving to deliver the most money to our clients.

The majority settle before we even need to file a lawsuit.
