Slip & Fall Injuries
I have represented clients who have been personally injured as a result of slipping, tripping and falling down because of the negligence of a property owner or their agent. Typically these accidents occur when there is a failure to maintain the property or when the owner/agent knows about a dangerous condition and fails to correct it. For example, a commercial business may set up a gutter that causes water to spill onto a sidewalk causing a slippery icey condition when the water freezes. Steps and staircases that are broken, chipped or falling apart are another situation where a premises defect condition is created causing serious physical injury.
I have occasionally received calls where the person is injured on State or local government property. These types of cases require immediate attention as they involve a Notice of Claim or Notice of Intention to File a Claim. The time limitations to file a claim or lawsuit are usually extremely short.
Slips, trips and falls can lead to very serious back injuries, knee injuries, and wrist fractures. I am experienced in representing injury victims in the Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga, Rensselaer, Greene, Columbia, Oneida, Fulton, Montogomery and Herkimer County Supreme Courts. Slip and falls/ premises defect cases require the kind of careful evaluation and legal research that my office provides. So call me today at (518) 694-1923 for a free telephone consultation!
