Slip & Fall Attorney – Premises Liability Lawyer

If you have been injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident in New York, you may be entitled to receive compensation from the property owner, tenant or occupier. Even if you think the accident was your fault, if another’s negligence contributed to the occurrence, they may be legally responsible.  It makes sense to explore your options to find out if you may be eligible for money damages, especially since there is no cost to do so.

Owners/occupiers of property, buildings, walkways and thoroughfares are responsible to keep premises safe for people to travel upon.  Defendants and their insurance companies often blame falls on the injured person not being careful, but there is a primary responsiblity to make property safe and to consider that people are human beings and can be expected to misstep or fail to notice unsafe conditions.  Fortunately, Evan Goldberg Law has had much success in defeating such attempts to divert responsibility away from a defendant’s negligence.  At Evan Goldberg Law, we place responsibility where it belongs and convince insurance companies, juries and courts to do the same.

Falls occur as a result of snow and ice, unlevel surfaces, potholes, cracks in sidewalks, broken, cracked or slippery steps, garbage or residue left on surfaces, improper cleaning/mopping, improper lighting and signage, to name a few.  However, there is no end to the dangerous scenarios that can seriously injure a pedestrian or worker.

Of course, injuries can occur as the result of negligent maintenance of property other than from a fall.  Improper security, burns from scalding water, lead paint poisoning, windows and ceilings falling, fires and gas explosions are samples of other scenarios where Evan Goldberg has successfully sued property owners for the damages they caused.

To make the right decision, it’s best to contact an experienced slip and fall or premises attorney.
