New York City Slip, Trip, and Fall Attorney

New York Premises Liability Attorney

Responsibility for maintaining safety on private and public properties rests with property owners and municipalities, respectively. Premises liability claims can be filed against property owners who neglect to maintain reasonable safety standards at personal homes, stores, and city- and state-owned properties (including sidewalks and parks).

Based on New York premises liability laws, any person injured as the result of dangerous conditions on a property may pursue personal injury compensation by filing a lawsuit. At The Eskesen Law Firm, Frank Eskesen handles lawsuits against public and private entities in premises liability cases all the time. We provide top-quality, attentive service to each of our clients, and your case will be personalized to your specific needs and the conditions of your case should we choose to handle it.

• Slippery surfaces
• Handrails in disrepair or that are built too low to the ground
• Falling objects
• Wet floors and other hazards that cause slips and trips in stores and other buildings
• Raised or broken sidewalks and other defects

Attacks on properties of any type (e.g., sexual assault, mugging and attacks at school) could be the cause of a premises liability claim if injury, loss or damage results from the attack.

Our firm has extensive knowledge of New York's premises liability laws. If we can show that you exercised appropriate caution while on the property and that the property owner neglected to keep the property in a safe condition or properly warn you of a hazard, you may have a case for personal injury compensation.

Our slip and fall lawyer will represent your best interests and pursue full compensation for your pain and suffering, medical costs, lost wages, rehabilitation, long-term care, and more. Reach out today to learn more.

Common Hazards Handled by a New York City Slip and Fall Attorney

Managing the bustling streets and high-density buildings of New York City comes with distinct property hazards. Severe winter freeze-thaw cycles routinely crack concrete sidewalks, while high foot traffic in commercial spaces rapidly wears down floorings, stairwells, and handrails. If you suffer an injury due to poorly maintained public walkways or building entries, consulting an experienced slip and fall attorney can help protect your rights.

Our Systematic Approach to Proving Negligence & Protecting Your Claim

Building the strongest claim possible requires immediate action and technical investigation. We act quickly to document the scene, preserve key evidence, and prove the property owner knew or should've known about the hazard.

• Immediate hazard & scene inspection: We gather time-sensitive evidence, including surveillance video, photo logs, weather records, and formal accident reports.
• Property record & violation audits: We examine municipal records, DOB filings, and past maintenance logs to establish a history of property neglect.
• Expert consultation & medical assessment: We partner with medical professionals and forensic engineers to quantify the full scope of your injuries and property defect severity.
