FAQ

Questions About Slip and Fall Accidents?

Get answers to common questions. Still have questions? for a free consultation.

01

How do I prove the property owner was negligent?

We must show that a dangerous condition existed, the property owner knew or should have known about it, they failed to correct it or warn visitors, and the condition caused your injury. Evidence like surveillance video, incident reports, and witness statements is crucial.

02

What if I fell on a public sidewalk?

Claims against municipalities have special rules and short deadlines. In New York, you typically have 90 days to file a notice of claim against a government entity. Contact us immediately if your fall occurred on public property.

03

Do I have a case if there was a 'wet floor' sign?

Warning signs don't automatically prevent liability. The property owner still has a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions and to clean up hazards promptly. The sign's placement, visibility, and adequacy of the warning all matter.

04

What compensation can I recover for a slip and fall?

You may recover medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Compensation depends on injury severity, your age, impact on daily life, and the property owner's insurance coverage.
