Can I Sue for a Slip and Fall Accident? - Samantha Kucher

BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Kucher Law Group Injury Attorney - In this episode, we explore the article 'Can I Sue for a Slip and Fall Accident?' and delve into the complexities of pursuing a slip and fall lawsuit in Brooklyn. Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, from a grocery store to a friend’s driveway, often leading to serious injuries and costly medical bills. If you’ve been injured due to a hazardous condition on someone else's property, understanding your legal rights under New York law is crucial for seeking compensation.
We discuss the importance of consulting a Brooklyn slip and fall lawyer to navigate the intricacies of your case. At Kucher Law Group, our personal injury attorneys can help establish negligence, a critical component in these cases. Property owners and occupiers have a duty of care to maintain safe conditions, and a breach of this duty resulting in injury can form the basis of a lawsuit. By gathering evidence such as photographs, witness testimonies, and incident reports, you can build a strong case to prove the property owner’s negligence.
Understanding New York premises liability law and the statutory deadlines for filing a lawsuit is essential. According to New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules section 214, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a slip and fall lawsuit. For claims against municipal property, the timeframe is shorter, requiring a Notice of Claim to be filed within 90 days of the incident. Timely filing is critical to preserving your right to seek damages, which can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and even punitive damages in cases of gross negligence.
Finally, we emphasize the importance of documenting medical treatment and expenses to support your claim. Detailed records of medical visits, treatments, and related costs are vital for calculating the compensation you deserve.
