We Can Determine Whether You Have a Strong Case

Property owners, landlords, tenants, certain contractors, and even the City of New York are required to act reasonably to maintain premises, so people do not get injured on their properties. However, not every slip or trip that causes injury warrants a claim or lawsuit.

For a successful trip or slip and fall case, you must have been injured on someone else’s property because of their negligence. Sometimes, there are multiple parties who hold responsibility. This could be the case if a property is owned jointly, tenants are in control of a property, or a contractor did poor construction work.

In a claim or lawsuit, we would look to prove that at least one or more parties are to blame for your injuries.

You Don’t Need to Have Fallen to Have a Valid Premises Liability Case

A fall to the ground after a slip or trip is not required in order to have a claim or lawsuit. In some instances, a severe injury can be sustained even if you do not actually fall. For instance, if you were bitten by a property owner’s dog, you could have a case for damages.

In cases involving injuries resulting from a slip or trip on a public sidewalk or roadway, there are special deadlines that severely limit the time you have to bring a claim. If you have been injured on a sidewalk or roadway in New York City, you must act immediately so as not to jeopardize your rights.

What Can You do to Help Strengthen Your Trip and Fall Claim?

After tripping and falling, you might pick yourself back up and carry on with your life as usual. However, you should still seek medical care. As previously mentioned, according to the Mayo Clinic, falls can cause traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage, which may not be apparent right away. You can seek treatment from your normal healthcare provider or an urgent care center.

You should also:

Seek prompt legal care. As mentioned, if you do not file your lawsuit within the statute of limitations, you could lose the right to take legal action, per the American Bar Association (ABA). If the courts dismiss your lawsuit, you would have to shoulder the financial burdens of your accident on your own.

Keep track of your losses. By holding on to your medical bills, employment records, and other cost-related statements, you can help our legal team calculate the value of your losses.

Allow your lawyer to talk to the insurer. The insurer might ask you to give a recorded statement. This is a tactic designed to contest your claim. By connecting your insurer to your lawyer, we can prevent them from taking advantage of you.
