Slip & Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are a common occurrence and can take place anywhere, often causing serious injury. Under New York law, if property owners fail to rid their property of dangerous conditions and someone slips, trips or falls and sustains an injury, the owner or property manager could be held legally responsible. If you have suffered an accident of this type, consult a Suffolk personal injury attorney at Winkler, Kurtz, Winkler & Kuhn, LLP to evaluate whether you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. We offer a free consultation and personalized attention to your case at all times by one of our partner attorneys.
Attorney in Suffolk Helping with Slip & Fall Injuries
Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents happen in an instant and often have severe consequences, such as brain injuries and head injuries, broken bones, and spinal cord injuries. Sometimes the fall is even fatal, which can bring about the filing of a wrongful death suit. Recovery from such injuries can be prolonged and costly, often resulting in a loss of wages and enormous medical bills. Our attorneys, with their broad knowledge base and experience in personal injury cases, can take charge of the required investigation and legal aspects of your slip and fall case. We will work hard to protect your rights and prove that a dangerous condition was present, that the owner knew about the condition and did not repair it or give suitable notice, and that a finding of premises liability for the property owner is appropriate.
