Why New York City Slip and Fall Accident Cases Arise

Slip and fall cases fall within premises liability law, the laws that provide for the legal duties of property owners. Under New York law, property owners must use reasonable care to keep their property in a safe condition to protect all individuals whose presence on the property is reasonably foreseeable. Therefore, most slip-and-fall accidents occur when a property owner fails to uphold this legal duty.

If a hazardous condition exists on private property and you are injured because of this dangerous condition, you may have grounds to pursue a premises liability claim against the negligent property owner. Some examples of unsafe conditions that might establish the property owner’s negligence include:

Uneven or slippery surfaces
Loose or uneven stair treads
Wet floors that are not promptly cleaned up
Poor housekeeping
Icy sidewalks
Trip and fall hazards left on the floor
Poor lighting that makes visitors unable to spot dangerous conditions

Most Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Slip and fall accidents can result in serious injuries. Some of the most common slip and fall injuries include:

Soft tissue injuries – Soft tissue injuries are injuries to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These may include painful strains and sprains, as well as whiplash.

Traumatic brain injuries – If you hit your head during the fall, you might suffer a traumatic brain injury. These injuries can cause long-lasting effects, including personality changes and having to relearn basic skills.

Broken bones – In a hard fall, the body may impact a solid surface like the ground, causing one or more broken bones. Fractures can be quite painful. Some may require surgery to repair the break.

Spinal cord injuries – Falls are a leading cause of spinal cord injuries. According to the Mayo Clinic, a traumatic spinal cord injury can arise from a sudden traumatic blow to the spine that fractures, dislocates, crushes, or compresses one or more vertebrae.

Soft tissue injuries – Soft tissue injuries are injuries to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These may include painful strains and sprains, as well as whiplash.

Payment for medical bills that have been incurred, as well as for necessary medical treatment in the future
