Can You Sue for a Slip and Fall in New York?

Yes, and you should use an experienced slip and fall attorney to help you.

Slip and fall accidents are quite common which can sometimes lead people to dismiss them as no big deal, or victims will underestimate their injuries, settle quickly, and receive too little compensation. When you hire Monaco Cooper Lamme & Carr, PLLC, we will help you avoid these scenarios by thoroughly analyzing both liability and damages to determine your probability of success and your potential compensation. Rest assured, our team of slip and fall litigators has been working in the industry for decades, so you can be confident that our assessment is accurate.

Many people believe that slip and fall cases are too insignificant for a lawyer to bother with. Not true. Whether we are negotiating a modest settlement or litigating a catastrophic case, all slip and fall cases are important to us – big or small.

When Should I Hire a Slip and Fall Attorney?

As soon as you can after the incident.

Property owners and insurance companies will predictably contact you soon after the incident. Expect a call from an agent or claims adjuster. They will ask you to provide a recorded statement. Do not do this until you have legal representation.

You may also be offered a quick lump-sum settlement. That money is not likely the fair value of your injuries. You want an attorney to help you recover for all your damages – past, present, and future pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
