New York City Slip & Fall Injury Lawyer

Hold Property Owners Accountable for Negligence

If you or someone in your family was hurt in a slip and fall accident due to a dangerous or defective condition, such as a broken or uneven sidewalk, snow and ice on a sidewalk, steps or parking lot, defective or broken stairs and steps, or a wet or slippery surface in a store, apartment building or any other type of building, you should contact our New York City slip and fall lawyers for a free consultation about the value of your potential case and the best way to collect compensation for your injury.

Understanding Slip and Fall Trials in NYC

Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall cases can be more complicated than they first appear. Because these types of cases are very nuanced, most injuries end up being handled out of court through a slip and fall settlement. Additionally, according to The Law Dictionary, about 95% of personal injury cases are settled pre-trial.

New York City Slip and Fall Lawyer Kenneth A. Pryor knows how to evaluate the facts and develop the proof of injury claims in slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall cases. Our law firm has recovered six-figure and million-dollar settlements and jury verdicts in several cases where we proved that our client’s injuries were the result of a property owner’s carelessness. In one case, we recovered $1.36 million for a Bronx woman who slipped and fell on ice at work.

Many slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall cases are caused by the carelessness of a property owner, landlord or municipal agency. A grocery store might leave a spill in an aisle, an apartment manager might ignore the accumulation of snow and ice on a stoop, walkway or stairway or the City, Town or Village might fail to repair a broken sidewalk. Under any of these circumstances, a person who gets hurt by tripping or slipping on a dangerous surface has a good chance of collecting money damages for any resulting injuries if their case is properly handled by an experienced law firm like The Pryor Law Firm.

Premises liability is the legal term for a building owner’s responsibility to keep the property safe for the normal use of residents, visitors, customers, and passers-by. Proving premises liability claims and collecting financial compensation for people injured by dangerous property conditions has been an important focus of The Pryor Law Firm’s work since we opened our doors in 1999.
