Common Causes of NYC Slip and Falls

Learning the cause of your accident is paramount to holding the other party liable for your losses. Through a comprehensive investigation, our slip and fall attorneys may find that a building owner, construction site supervisor, or another party owes you compensation. Causes of slips, trips, and falls often include: 

Spills or slippery floors.

Building owners must ensure that walkways are safe for guests, residents, and other visitors. This includes regularly monitoring the premises and ensuring walkways are free of spills, garbage, debris, cleaning products, and other substances that can cause someone to slip and fall.

Ice/snow.

Building owners must ensure that visitors are protected from melted ice or snow inside their buildings that can pose a falling risk. They can mitigate these risks by putting rugs in entryways and drying up tracked in ice and snow.  Likewise, building owners have a duty to keep outside walkways properly shoveled and maintained in the case of snow. 

Your NYC slip and fall lawyer will identify the cause of your accident by reviewing the police report, eyewitness testimony, and medical records. As we’ll discuss later, this information can prove instrumental in holding another party financially responsible for your losses. 

Our NYC Attorneys Advocate for Clients With These Common Slip and Fall Injuries

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that millions of people suffer fall-related injuries each year. It notes that one out of five accidents result in broken bones, generally of the hip, wrist, arm, and ankle. These accidents can also result in traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which can include concussions, hematomas, and other life-threatening conditions. 

Aside from these injuries, falls also pose the risk of: 

• Internal bleeding
• Organ damage
• Spinal cord trauma 
• Torn ligaments and other serious soft-tissue injuries 
• Lacerations (resulting in blood loss) 
• Fatalities, particularly in seniors over 65 years old 

Upon learning about your personal injury claim, the liable party may attempt to write off your fall accident as minor. We don’t let them get away with underestimating your condition. Your NYC slip and fall lawyer will demonstrate the severity of your injuries using medical expert testimony, imaging scans, and the details from your treatment.
