Slip and Fall

New York City Premises Liability Attorney

Slip and fall, or trip and fall, accidents can cause very serious injuries. They can even be fatal. If you have been injured in a fall on someone else’s property, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries. Property and business owners have a duty to maintain a safe environment for customers, employees and other people who enter their property. The New York City premises liability lawyers of Panzavecchia & Associates, PLLC can help you recover the compensation you need and deserve.

Causes of Slip and Fall

A property or business owner can be found negligent if that owner knew or should have known about a hazardous condition, failed to do something about it, and that condition caused your injury. Examples of common causes of slip and fall include:

  • Spills and other messes that are not cleaned up in a timely fashion
  • Failure to mark or block off wet floors and other dangerous areas
  • Slippery residues left behind from cleaning products
  • Dry or dusty contamination that is slippery
  • Inadequate snow and ice removal
  • Slick mold overgrowth
  • Wet decks, sidewalks, and stairs
  • Leaks that cause slick floors or sidewalks
  • Leaky refrigeration and air conditioning units
  • Lack of warning signs for wet floors during cleaning
  • Slick flooring material
  • Damaged flooring
  • Loose or wrinkled carpets and rugs
  • Uneven or damaged stairs
  • Missing or loose hand rails
  • Unmarked step-up or step-down
  • Uneven walkway
  • Low obstacles that create a tripping hazard, such as open cabinets or boxes in walkways
  • Cables or cords across pathways
  • Debris and messes
  • Boxes and merchandise in aisles, waiting to be stocked
