“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.

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

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.
Many slip and fall cases are resolved out of court. If we can negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company, settling is often an attractive option. From your standpoint, the finances can work out even better than they might at trial. However, it is important to remember that a settlement offer is final once you accept. That means you can’t go back and ask for more compensation if it turns out your expenses are higher. The following are important:
-You should never rush into a settlement even if the insurance company offers you a settlement right away and you have bills to pay,
-You should always have an experienced slip and fall accident lawyer look over your settlement offer before accepting,
-Accident victims who have an experienced lawyer represent them in their claim receive an average of three times more in compensation than unrepresented parties.
Injury cases can take months or even a year (or more) to resolve. The time needed to reach a fair settlement will depend substantially on how serious your injuries are. We would be doing you a disservice if we promised fast results—because in serious injury cases, we often cannot know what the financial cost of the injury will be until time has passed. Your fair compensation award must also account for future expenses and your medical team will need time to reach an estimate of what those expenses might be.
