Identifying the Causes of Your Sidewalk Fall Injuries

Property owners and the city government are responsible for taking reasonable steps to prevent people from tripping and falling on cracked and broken sidewalks. In New York, that means taking account of factors like the following that can increase the risk of sidewalk falls:

• Hidden dangers: Pedestrians are expected to watch where they are going, but they are not expected to walk around with their heads down, staring at the sidewalk. Many potentially serious sidewalk defects are not obvious to the casual walker.
• Dark conditions: In New York, it is normal for people to walk around when it is dark out, especially in the winter and especially on commercial streets. The darker it is, the less likely it is that pedestrians will notice cracked and broken sidewalks.
• Crowding: When someone is walking right in front of you or you have to weave through a crowd in order to get past people who are standing still, you may not notice defects that would otherwise be obvious to someone walking on an uncrowded sidewalk.

Our attorneys will carefully analyze the facts of your case to determine who, if anyone, can be held accountable for your injuries. We will then take the necessary steps to pursue the fair compensation you deserve. Let us put our experience and passion to work for you.
