Brooklyn Slip and Fall Attorneys

The busy lives of Brooklynites going about daily activities, work, and school can lead to accidents and injuries. These accidents can take place on anyone’s premises, whether it is a local shop or business, a neighboring homeowner, or in or around government facilities. All of these business owners, landlords, local government officials, and other property owners or managers need to keep their premises safe for visitors and guests. If they do not, their negligence can result in severe or even life-threatening injuries to others.

Property Owner Responsibility in Accident Prevention

Under premises liability law, property owners, landlords, and managers owe a duty of care to guests and visitors for a reasonably safe space in which accidents are prevented.

This means these owners and managers should:

• Routinely inspect their property for trip and safety hazards
• Provide signage to alert others of hazardous conditions
• Clean spills and puddles in a timely fashion
• Provide essential safety equipment in areas where tripping is common (like handrails on a staircase)
• Alert people on the property about changes in elevation
• Keep walkways and aisles free of debris and clutter
• Keep landscaping trimmed so that pathways and walkways can be easily seen
• Ensure hallways, aisles, corridors, stairways, and stairwells are properly lit
• Ensure elevators and escalators are properly maintained and serviced
• Ensure properties are up to standard building codes and regulations

Failure to implement safety precautions resulting in preventable accidents can lead to property owner liability in civil claims and lawsuits. 

Our team will evaluate your case and determine who is at fault for your injuries, whether they are private citizens, public building owners or managers, business owners, or local government agencies. 

Your Potential Damages in a Brooklyn Slip & Fall Accident

Slip and fall injuries can range from minor to catastrophic, including broken bones, sprains, concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and even spinal cord injuries. The extent of your injuries will determine the type and amount of damages you may recover. These can include both economic damages (those represented by bills, receipts, and invoices) and those without a set monetary value, such as emotional distress. 

Damages can include:

• Pain and suffering
• The loss of enjoyment of life
• Medical bills
• Lost wages or loss of future income and benefits
• Rehabilitation and future medical expenses
• Emotional distress
• Wrongful death

When our team handles your claim, you can trust that we will do whatever it takes to secure maximum compensation for your injuries. However, if an insurance company fails to cooperate, our seasoned trial lawyers are prepared to take your claim to trial.

Our Process for Your Financial Recovery

Handling personal injury claims is time-consuming and often complicated work involving many details. When injured, you may not have the physical or mental ability to engage in this process. You may also have little understanding of how to fully value your losses and damages, especially those without tangible receipts. You should never rely on or accept what an insurance company tells you your case is worth. These companies work every angle to pay you as little as possible or even deny your claim. With an experienced attorney on board, your chances of securing full and fair compensation are increased.

We do the following in helping you with Brooklyn slip and fall claims:

• Conduct a free consultation: We perform case assessments in person, virtually, or over the phone, whichever works best for you.
• Collect evidence: We gather photographs, video footage, witness statements, public records, and any other articles that prove how another person’s negligence caused your injuries.
• File your accident claim: We file claims quickly to adhere to New York’s statutes of limitation for personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits.
• Conduct fieldwork: Our attorneys spearhead investigations and consult with experts to assess your damages and determine your settlement value.
• Negotiate your compensation: We negotiate a  settlement with the liable party or their insurance company and hold them responsible for submitting the settlement payment in a timely fashion.
• Defend your rights: If the insurance company refuses to make a fair settlement offer, we prove how your injuries warrant a larger financial recovery. 
• Represent you during a trial: We prepare you for your testimony and present evidence on your behalf during a trial to ensure you receive the compensation that you deserve.

Avoid Losing Your Right to Compensation

The worst thing you can do after a slip and fall or trip and fall accident in Brooklyn is put off filing a claim. The New York statute of limitations places limits on the time within which you can make a claim or bring a lawsuit. That means if your accident already occurred, you should contact an experienced attorney immediately to determine the applicable statute of limitations deadline and any other deadlines that may exist. 

If you miss your deadline, you may be prevented from obtaining any compensation under the law. To avoid these types of problems, consult with a qualified Brooklyn accident attorney as soon as possible.
