Goldstein & Bashner

Were you recently injured in a slip and fall accident? A slip and fall can happen anywhere, at Roosevelt Field, Applebee’s, Stop and Shop, a private home or at your office building.

If you slip and fall it is important to first determine if you were hurt due to your own negligence, such as walking while not paying attention to where you were going. But even if you believe the property owner is at fault, it is not as simple as collecting a check for slipping on a puddle in the grocery store. To win a slip and fall claim, you need to show that the owner was aware of the hazard and ignored it or should have known and failed to address it.

Property owners do have certain obligations, and when they don’t take the necessary precautions to keep their place safe —such as making repairs when notified of a dangerous condition, providing cleared aisles and passageways, clearing snow and ice in a timely manner and maintaining properly working doors and safe store displays—they may be held liable for the  injuries that result. An experienced Long Island personal injury lawyer will gather evidence and work to get you the compensation you deserve. At Goldstein & Bashner, we have nearly 40 years of combined legal experience handling these types of cases and a track record of winning high settlement for our clients.

Our lawyers are on your side and will always have time to answer your questions and update you on your case. We will launch a complete investigation, which will include:

• A site inspection to determine any dangerous conditions that caused the slip and fall accident
• Securing any evidence of the dangerous condition. It is important to gather evidence as soon as possible after the accident before it “disappears,” whether intentionally by the owners or just due to the temporary nature of it
• Tracking down witnesses to the slip and fall accident or with knowledge of the dangerous condition
• Locating proof of prior complaints about the dangerous condition or of prior slip and fall accidents at the same location.

Long Island personal injury lawyers Goldstein and Bashner provide five essential steps to take after you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident:

1. See a doctor. You may not think your injuries are serious, but it is important to seek medical attention after a slip and fall. Often, slip and fall injuries can take days or even weeks after the accident to manifest. Make sure to get complete medical records and receipts to document your treatment.
2. Report the accident. If your accident takes place in any public or privately owned place, such as a mall, supermarket or restaurant, it is important to report the incident. This helps document that there was an accident and provides information taken while the incident was still fresh in everyone’s mind.
3. Take photos. With today’s cell phone cameras, it is easy to snap some pictures of the accident scene. These photos can help document the incident and provide insight into who is at fault. Make sure to photograph any hazardous conditions that contributed to the fall, such as a loose floor tile, broken chair or damaged hand rail. A quick picture at the scene will protect you from critical evidence that is destroyed, cleaned up, or temporary in nature. Also make sure to take pictures of any injuries, especially bruising, swelling and wounds.
4. Collect contact information from any witnesses. Witnesses can corroborate your story and provide a non-biased account of what actually happened. Sometimes they might have even seen something that you missed that will help your case.
5. Contact a reputable Long Island slip, trip and fall lawyer. A good lawyer will be on your side and provide a team of investigators to collect evidence to help prove your case. They will help preserve and document evidence, contact witnesses, and help you obtain and document any necessary medical care. They will work to protect your rights and ensure that you get the compensation you deserve. This may include current and future medical costs, lost wages as well as pain and suffering

Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, including:

• Apartment buildings
• Private homes
• Retail stores
• Shopping malls
• Grocery stores
• Night clubs
• Restaurants
• Parks
• Office buildings

 
If you have fallen on someone else’s property, you need to be aware of your legal rights.  The liability of the property owner depends on the jurisdiction where the accident occurred, as the rules vary.  Usually a property owner is responsible for injuries that occur on the property when he or she knew of the unsafe condition or caused it and did nothing to correct the problem.  A property owner can also be held liable if he or she should have known about the danger. 

Even if it is discovered that the property owner does not have insurance, it doesn’t mean the case will be dismissed.  Our slip and fall lawyers have been able to get big settlements for our clients by going after the uninsured owner’s assets to help recover compensation.  We have successfully represented slip and fall and trip and fall cases against private landowners, commercial landowners and municipalities. 

Compensation for a slip and fall lawsuit can include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and other costs associated with the injuries.
