Slips and Falls
If you have been injured while on the property of another person, because of the negligence of the owner or property manager, you may have a premises liability case or a slip trip and fall. Premises injuries may occur in many places, including office buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, parking facilities and apartment buildings.
If you have been injured while on someone else's property due to a property owner’s or manager’s negligence, you may have a premises liability case or other legal recourse for your slip, trip, and fall. Premises injuries occur in:
- office buildings;
- shopping malls;
- hospitals;
- parking facilities; and,
- apartment buildings.
Did you know that by law:
- grocery stores must guard against injuries to their customers by cleaning up spills in a reasonable time and manner;
- commercial buildings must protect the safety of workers/tenants by fixing stairs or railings that are damaged or defective;
- shopping malls are required to provide adequate security for customers.
A slip and fall involves a victim slipping on a wet area on the floor resulting in debilitating or work-compromising injury. A trip and fall involves a victim trip over broken stairs, debris, or uneven pavement resulting in a temporary or permanent disabling or crippling injury. If the slip and fall or trip and fall occur due to obvious lack of attention by the property owner to the safe upkeep of their property they may be liable under New York law.
