NYC Trip-and-Fall Lawyer
Most of us don't think of walking or running on a sidewalk as a dangerous activity. Yet serious falls can happen when sidewalks are slippery, obstructed, cracked or irregular. Sidewalk falls can result in significant injuries, such as fractures and back, head and hip injuries, which can prevent you from working and functioning in everyday life.
If a sidewalk defect or poor maintenance caused you to fall and sustain an injury, seek medical attention and contact Omrani & Taub right away. Call 212-529-7848 (212-LAW-SUIT) to discuss your sidewalk accident in a free consultation.
New York City Sidewalk Law
New York City recently enacted a new sidewalk law in order to shift liability for sidewalk accidents from the City of New York to property owners. The new law makes sidewalk injury cases much quicker and easier to litigate. Outside of the New York City area, most jurisdictions have similar codes in place.
Following a sidewalk slip-and-fall accident, our attorneys will research the relevant codes in your area, as well as your accident, and let you know if you have a strong premises liability lawsuit. Contact Omrani & Taub as soon as possible if you were injured due to any of the following sidewalk conditions:
- Cracked sidewalk
- Uneven sidewalk
- Hole in sidewalk
- Trap door in sidewalk
- Broken manhole cover in sidewalk
- Object protruding from sidewalk, such as a cut off pole
- Sidewalk obstructions, such as garbage, debris and signs
- Snow and ice on sidewalk
