Slip and Fall Accidents Property owners are expected to keep their properties safe for visitors. When they don't, the resulting injuries can be serious. For example, an elderly woman may slip on a wet floor in a grocery store and fracture her hip ; children may stumble over items in store aisles, causing concussions ; and snow-covered and icy sidewalks of a New York winter can be hazardous for everyone. If you have been injured as the result of someone else's negligence, you should not have to face the consequences alone.

Understanding The Law Governing Slip and Fall Accidents Not every injury caused by a slip and fall incident will support a legitimate premises liability claim. Property owners do have a duty maintain their property so that it is safe, but individual visitors are also required to pay attention and avoid obvious dangers. Generally children are held to a lesser standard of awareness when visiting another's property. Additionally, property owners are not held to an impossible standard - they do have a reasonable amount of time to respond to any potential dangers. Following an injury caused by a slip and fall accident, our experienced attorneys can help you determine whether or not you have viable legal claim, based upon the situation and your injuries. We will also help you understand the likely outcome of any course of action you choose to pursue.
