Manhattan Slip & Fall Accident Lawyers

Award-Winning Injury Lawyers Help Clients Get Fair Compensation for Manhattan Slip & Fall Accident Injuries

“Slip and fall accident” is the basic label used in legal circles for any type of accident where you fall and hurt yourself on someone else’s property.  If a property owner was negligent in maintaining the property, anyone who falls and hurts themselves because of that negligent maintenance may be entitled to monetary damages for their injuries.

When pursuing compensation for slip and fall accident injuries, you need a strong and skilled lawyer by your side.  Slip and falls are often looked at skeptically and, in all but the most clear-cut cases, your injuries, expenses and the cause of the accident itself may be challenged.

Types of Manhattan Slip and Fall Accidents

Manhattan is comprised of a collection of sidewalks, walkways and staircases.  Even some of the most desirable Manhattan real estate may be in need of repair.  However, the property owner is not responsible every time someone falls and hurts themselves.  In order to be liable, the property owner must have been negligent in maintaining the property.  In basic terms, to win compensation in a slip and fall accident case, our lawyers will work to prove:

• A dangerous condition or some type of hazard existed on the property,
• The property owner either knew or reasonably should have known about the danger,
• The property owner failed to warn you of the danger, such as by posting warning signs or roping the area off,
• The property owner had enough time to either fix the hazard or place adequate warnings,
• You were injured because of the hazard.

More specifically, you may be entitled to compensation if your slip and fall accident was caused by:

• Icy sidewalks that had been neglected by the property owner,
• Damaged stairways, including crumbling stairs and missing handrails,
• A poorly lit stairway in a Manhattan restaurant or bar,
• A puddle of liquid on the grocery store floor,
• Crumbling sidewalks,
• Obstructed or poorly lit walkways.

About Manhattan, NY

As one of the busiest and most densely populated cities in the world, Manhattan is a “jungle gym” of activity at all hours of the day and night.  Manhattan residents routinely run up and down stairs to access the subways, navigate small and crowded stores and use the sidewalks to travel throughout the city.  Importantly, NYC residents and visitors rely upon Manhattan business owners and the city itself to keep the infrastructure safe. Neglect of these duties is, unfortunately, one of the most common causes of slip and fall injuries in Manhattan.
