Walking Around New York City Has Its Risks

In New York City, walking on the city’s roads is a routine activity for many. Crossing the streets of Manhattan would be routine under regular conditions, but The New York Times notes that crowded sidewalks have made pedestrians start using the road to get around.

Walking on the roads of Manhattan means that, if those roads are cracked, uneven, or otherwise in disrepair, pedestrians are at risk of suffering a serious injury in a trip and fall accident.

Unrepaired Roads Endanger Your Health

When governmental and private parties do not tend to the state of their roads, they may become:

  • Cracked
  • Uneven
  • Littered with potholes
  • Sunken

Several injuries could occur because of unrepaired roads. These injuries may include:

  • Ankle and leg injuries, which MedlinePlus explains may include bone fractures
  • Injuries to tendons and other ankle-adjacent body parts
  • Broken wrists
  • Broken bones in your hands
  • Broken bones in your arms
  • Broken hips
  • Knee injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)

Injuries may show symptoms the moment you fall and hit the ground, while other injuries may show symptoms days, weeks, or even months after the accident. You should seek medical attention to prevent further damage from developing. These sorts of injuries could prevent you from working, cause you substantial pain, and leave you with symptoms that may be permanent or linger long into the future.

You may be able to hold the parties responsible for the road and dangerous condition that caused your fall accountable for your injuries and resulting medical costs and other losses. A Manhattan fall caused by uneven or cracked roads can represent you and pursue any awards or compensation that you are entitled to collect.
