Slip and Fall Accidents: Protecting Your Rights After an Injury
A slip and fall can happen in an instant, but the effects can stay with you for a long time. Many people end up dealing with serious injuries, high medical bills, and time away from work.
If your fall happened because someone else didn’t take care of their property, you may be able to get compensation. At Everclad Law Group, we stand up for people in Lynbrook and nearby communities, working to hold property owners responsible and fight for the recovery you need.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are very common in New York. Most of the time, they happen because a property owner or manager didn’t take the right steps to keep the area safe. Some of the usual causes include:
- Wet or slippery floors with no warning signs
- Cracked or uneven sidewalks
- Poor lighting in stairways, parking lots, or hallways
- Loose carpets, tiles, or floorboards
- Walkways blocked with clutter or debris
- Snow and ice that wasn’t cleared in time
When these hazards are ignored, it’s everyday people who end up getting hurt. That’s where we come in to help.
Injuries From Slip and Fall Accidents
Not every fall is minor. Many lead to serious injuries that can change your life. Some of the most common include:
- Broken bones
- Sprains or torn ligaments
- Hip or knee injuries
- Back or spinal cord injuries
- Head injuries, like concussions or traumatic brain injuries
These kinds of injuries often mean surgery, months of recovery, or ongoing medical care. They can also keep you from working or enjoying daily life the way you used to. At our slip and fall accident law firm, we know how tough this can be, and we’re here to help you through it.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
Property owners, landlords, businesses, and even government agencies have a duty to keep their property safe. When they don’t, and someone gets hurt, they can be held accountable.
In a New York slip and fall case, we need to show that:
- The property owner had a duty to keep the area safe.
- They knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition.
- They failed to fix the problem or warn people about it.
- That negligence caused your injuries.
Every case is different, and sometimes more than one party may share the blame. That’s why it helps to have an experienced lawyer on your side, guiding you through the process.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall, the law allows you to seek different types of compensation, depending on your situation. These generally fall into three main categories:
Economic damages
These cover the financial losses from your accident, such as:
- Medical bills (current and future)
- Rehabilitation or physical therapy costs
- Lost wages while you recover
- Loss of future earning capacity if you can’t return to work in the same way
Non-economic damages
These focus on the personal impact of your injuries, which can be just as serious as financial losses:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
Punitive damages
In rare cases, if a property owner’s conduct was especially reckless or intentional. For example, knowingly ignoring a serious hazard, punitive damages may also be awarded. These are meant to punish the wrongdoer and discourage similar behavior in the future.
At Everclad Law Group, our goal is to fight for the maximum compensation available, so you can focus on your recovery and moving forward with your life.
How Everclad Law Group Can Help
Slip and fall cases aren’t always straightforward. Property owners and insurance companies often try to shift the blame or make your injuries seem less serious than they really are.
That’s where we step in. At Everclad Law Group, we know the tactics they use, and we don’t let them take advantage of you. Here’s how we can help:
Thorough investigation
We carefully look into what happened by collecting photos, video footage, witness statements, and maintenance or inspection records. This helps us show exactly how the accident occurred and why the property owner should be held responsible.
Working with experts
If needed, we bring in trusted experts—like doctors who can explain the full impact of your injuries, or accident reconstruction specialists who can show how the fall could have been prevented.
Dealing with insurance companies
Insurance adjusters often try to get you to settle for less than what your case is really worth. We know their playbook and push back hard to make sure you’re offered a fair settlement that covers your losses.
Going to court if needed
Most cases settle, but if the insurance company refuses to be fair, we’re fully prepared to take your case to trial and fight for you in front of a judge and jury.
Our attorneys, Yoni Klestzick and Joe Lieberman, bring decades of combined experience and a strong history of winning results for clients. More importantly, we treat every client with compassion while fighting fiercely to protect their rights. With us, you get a team that truly cares about your recovery and isn’t afraid to stand up to big insurance companies.
