Staten Island Slip and Fall Attorneys

If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries from a slip and fall accident due to another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

If you lost a loved one in a trip and fall accident, we can also help you. Depending on your relationship with the decedent, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim on their behalf.

When you work with us, we can investigate the circumstances of your accident, determine the value of your losses, and keep you updated on your case’s progression.

Liability for Your Slip and Fall Injuries

No one walks on the sidewalk or inside a building expecting to trip and fall. When you go outside, you expect walking surfaces to be safe.

Premises liability is a diverse area of law that includes trip or slip and fall accidents that can occur both inside a building or outside on the street or road.

A trip or slip and fall can result from many different unsafe or dangerous conditions such as:

  • Torn, worn, or frayed carpeting
  • Cords stretched across floors
  • Wet or slippery conditions on floors or stairs
  • Steps with damaged or non-existent handrails
  • Poorly maintained sidewalks
  • Ice or snow on walkways, stairs, or sidewalks
  • Insufficient lighting in parking lots or stairwells
  • Construction defects or holes on sidewalks or roads

The above examples are only a small fraction of the types of conditions that can cause a trip and fall accident. If you have been injured as the result of any condition which caused you to trip or slip and fall, contact our office so that we can evaluate whether you can pursue a claim for financial compensation.

Who May Be Responsible for Your Trip or Slip and Fall Injuries

Depending on the location and circumstances of your fall, there are many responsible parties who could be held liable for your injuries. These parties may include:

  • Property owner
  • Management company
  • Tenant of a commercial business
  • City of New York
  • Construction company

Types of Compensation Possible After a Slip and Fall Injury

A trip and fall accident can disrupt your career and personal life. The injury you suffer may require a long recovery period or result in a permanent disability. At Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP, we use our decades of experience to fight for the maximum financial compensation that you deserve. We understand the negative implications these types of accidents can have on a claimant’s life.

While each trip and fall case is different, the types of compensation you may be entitled to may include:

  • Physical and emotional injuries
  • Mental anguish
  • Pain and suffering for all physical and emotional injuries
  • Mental anguish
  • Past and future medical expenses, including emergency transportation and surgical procedures
  • Past and future lost wages, if applicable

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim

If you lost a loved one due to a trip and fall injury, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. No amount of money can replace your loved one. However, a meritorious wrongful death claim serves justice by allowing you to claim fair and reasonable monetary damages for any of the above losses cited above in addition to the following:

  • Loss of spousal support
  • Loss of parental support
  • Funeral, burial, and memorial expenses
  • Loss of guidance and services to the family
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of inheritance

Your relationship with the deceased is important in determining if you are eligible to pursue compensation. 

You May Have a Limited Time to Act

You should not delay if you wish to discuss your right to compensation. If you or someone you love has been injured in a trip or slip and fall accident, your time to bring a claim is limited. Under New York law if you fail to bring your claim within the deadline, you may be forever barred from seeking the financial compensation you deserve. The Staten Island trip and fall injury lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP are ready to protect your rights.
