Every Type of Slip and Fall Case
in Nueva York

⚠️

Wet floor falls in stores and restaurants

The most common type. We subpoena incident reports, employee logs, and prior complaints to establish constructive notice.

⚠️

Icy sidewalk falls

Owners have a reasonable time after a storm to clear ice. Recurring ice from poor drainage creates ongoing liability.

⚠️

Broken staircase and handrail falls

Building code violations are direct evidence of negligence. We document all code deficiencies at the scene.

⚠️

NYCHA and public housing falls

Government property — 90-day Notice of Claim required. NYCHA's deferred maintenance creates extensive hazards across all five boroughs.

⚠️

Pothole and sidewalk defect falls

City-owned sidewalks require a prior written notice of defect to the City before liability attaches — with exceptions. We research the notice history immediately.

⚠️

Construction zone falls

Falls in and around active construction sites may trigger both premises liability and Labor Law protections.

Slip and Fall Questions
We Hear Every Day

What do I have to prove in a slip and fall case?+

That there was a dangerous condition, that the owner knew or should have known about it (notice), and that it caused your injuries. The notice element is typically where these cases are won or lost.

What if it just happened — who do I call first?+

Call 911 if injured. Request an incident report from the property owner. Photograph the hazard immediately. Then call us — camera footage is often overwritten within 24-72 hours and we need to send a preservation letter.

What if I was partly at fault for the fall?+

Nueva York uses pure comparative negligence — your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault but not eliminated. Even if you were 30% at fault, you collect 70% of your damages.

Does this apply to sidewalk falls?+

Yes — but the rules depend on who owns the adjacent property. Commercial properties and buildings with 5+ units are responsible for their sidewalks. One-to-four family homes shift liability to the City of Nueva York, which requires a 90-day Notice of Claim.
