Understanding Slip and Fall Cases
Slip and fall accidents occur when someone is injured due to unsafe conditions on another’s property. These cases often involve proving that the property owner was negligent in maintaining a safe environment. Common causes of slip and fall accidents include wet or slippery floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, and unmarked hazards.
In New York, property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition under premises liability law. According to New York law, owners can be liable if their negligence directly causes an injury. Understanding these legal principles can help you determine whether your situation warrants a claim.
Slip and fall cases also often hinge on constructive notice. Under this legal concept, even if a property owner did not directly know about the hazardous condition, they could still be held liable if the condition existed long enough that they should have reasonably known about it.
Do You Have a Valid Case?
Determining whether you have a valid slip and fall case involves evaluating specific factors. You’ll need to establish that there was a hazardous condition, that the property owner knew or should have known about it, and that their negligence directly caused your injuries. Additionally, proving that you were lawfully on the property strengthens your claim.
A skilled slip and fall attorney can assess your situation, gather evidence, and provide a clear path forward. Whether documenting unsafe conditions or consulting with experts, having legal representation ensures you’re well-equipped to pursue justice.

- Seek medical attention. Your health is the priority. Visiting a doctor also provides documentation of your injuries.
