Sidewalk Accident Injuries
Sidewalks can be dangerous for a number of reasons. When property owners fail to remove hazards such as ice and snow, they can become dangerously slippery, leading to slip-and-fall accidents. When potholes, cracks, uneven surfaces and other hazards exist, they can lead to trip-and-fall accidents. In New York, many sidewalks contain cellar doors leading to storage rooms beneath stores. If these doors are not properly positioned or maintained, they can also present a hazard to pedestrians.
New York Sidewalk Injury Liability
Recent changes in New York law have shifted liability for sidewalk accidents from the government to property owners. If an accident takes place on a sidewalk adjacent to a store, apartment building, office tower or other property, the owner of that property can be held liable for damages.
Our attorneys are well versed in New York premises liability law and familiar with the statutes governing sidewalk accident liability. We are prepared to help you pursue maximum compensation for the losses you have incurred due to a sidewalk injury.
