Slip and Fall Accidents

Turning a disputed fall into a documented claim, and pursuing what you are owed.

Slip and Fall Claims in New York

A slip or fall can cause lasting injuries and hard-fought insurance disputes, because owners and insurers often argue the hazard was open and obvious or that you were not watching where you were going. Shim Law Group, P.C. gathers the evidence to show what happened and pursues fair compensation for your recovery.

These cases succeed on proof: that a dangerous condition existed, that the property owner had notice of it, and that it caused your fall. We move quickly to secure that proof before it is cleaned up, repaired, or recorded over.

Common Causes We See

  • Wet, slippery, or freshly mopped floors without warning
  • Ice and snow that was not properly cleared
  • Uneven pavement, torn carpeting, and loose mats
  • Broken or poorly lit stairways
  • Debris and obstructions in walkways

Slip and Fall Accidents Questions, Answered by Our Attorneys

They can be, because the key issue is often whether the owner knew about the hazard and had a chance to fix it. That is why prompt investigation and solid evidence are so important, and why having an attorney early helps.

If you can, report it to the property, take photos of the hazard, get the names of any witnesses, and seek medical attention. Then speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement to an insurer.

The absence of a warning can support your claim. We look at whether the owner should have known about the condition and taken steps to warn or fix it.

We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and you do not pay unless we win your case.
