Brooklyn Slip-and-Fall Attorney
Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents can have serious consequences, including fractures and head injuries. If you have been injured due to a fall on a sidewalk, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
I am Daniel A. Kalish, an experienced Brooklyn, Westchester County and Bronx sidewalk fall attorney. Since 1986, I have helped injured people throughout the New York metro area seek compensation from negligent property owners. To schedule a free consultation, contact my office today.
Moving Quickly to Document Property Owners' Negligence
In 2003, New York City made property owners — with a few exceptions — legally responsible for maintaining their own sidewalks. That means that they must correct or warn against any defects or hazards that might cause people to slip or trip and fall, including the following:
- Slippery ice and snow
- Potholes and sinkholes
- Uneven concrete slabs
- Cracks and bulges caused by tree roots
- Trap doors that are left open or unsecured
If you have slipped and fallen on someone else's sidewalk, it is important to preserve the evidence and get your claim started right away. If you select me as your attorney, I will begin an investigation immediately in order to make sure you have a fair opportunity to bring a claim.
If you try to take pictures of the accident scene yourself, you may not get the right types of photos. It is much better to get an experienced lawyer working on your case. Don't hesitate to contact me to get the process started.
