NYC Slip and Fall Lawyer for Uneven Ground and Flooring Accidents

Did you recently trip and fall while on the sidewalk, road, private or commercial property in New York? Was uneven ground or flooring responsible for your injuries? New York personal injury laws require that a property owner and other parties have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. If those parties fail to act reasonably and you are injured on a hazard that they should have repaired, you may be able to receive financial compensation for your injuries. A New York uneven ground lawyer from Dansker & Aspromonte LLP Associates is ready to help you with your claim.

When Should I Hire a Lawyer to Help Me Work on My Case?

Some people hold off on seeking legal representation because they aren’t sure if it’s worth seeking help with their case. Keep in mind that even in cases that seem relatively straightforward, you may face complications when dealing with the insurance claims process.

For instance:

  • If you receive an offer soon after your accident, how will you know if it’s a fair one? In many cases, insurance companies try to offer you a low initial settlement before you have time to get help from a lawyer.
  • Even if the other party was clearly negligent, they may still try to claim that you caused your own accident and injured yourself—perhaps due to improper footwear, for instance. We can fight for your side of the story and demonstrate that the other party was liable.
  • Your case may need to go to trial and, if a fair offer can’t be reached through negotiations or if your case is of a very high dollar amount, you may have to take your case to court to seek a fair award. If you aren’t able to prepare your case evidence and represent yourself, you may find it difficult to secure compensation.

 

In short, you could find our help beneficial at many steps of a personal injury case. What’s more, you may not wish to negotiate with insurers and file paperwork when you’re recovering from your injuries. We can do these things for you.

Potential Damages You Can Seek in Uneven Ground and Flooring Cases

Injuries caused by uneven ground and flooring can result in severe or catastrophic injuries—and can lead to substantial medical costs and lost earnings. You should not have to bear the costs caused by another person’s negligence. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe premises, and if they fail to fulfill this legal duty, they should be held accountable for the injuries and damages that result.

If the evidence establishes that your injuries were the result of the fault of another party or parties, even partially, you may be entitled to financial compensation for each and every aspect of damages that you suffered, including:

  • Pain and suffering as a result of all physical or emotional injuries
  • Future pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Loss of pension benefits
  • Any other out of pocket costs incurred due to your injuries

Call Us for a Free Case Review after an Accident

Contact our office to learn more about your rights during a free consultation. You can speak to a member of our team to find out more about the legal process.

Don’t delay. Getting started on your case as early as possible is important for several reasons, including:

  • There are filing deadlines that severely limit your right to recover monetary damages. If you fail to file certain claims within the deadline, you may be prevented from receiving the compensation you deserve.
  • Some crucial forms of evidence disappear in the days and weeks after your accident. Beginning your case early means that you can build a solid case.

With experience across a range of personal injury cases—including car accidents, construction accidents, new york premises liability claims, and serious injuries—our attorneys are prepared to fight for your rights.

Baby S was born with a congenital hip dislocation which was not anyone’s fault. However, malpractice occurred when the doctors and hospital did not recognize the condition after she was born. Their failure to diagnose and properly treat the condition resulted in a slight but permanent deformity.
Julio, 16, was an outpatient at the Manhattan Children’s Psychiatric Hospital where he attended school and got psychiatric counseling and supportive therapy every day. The NYC Board of Ed operated the school. One day after school, Julio ran after his bus, which was leaving without him. He slipped and was run over by the back wheels, sustaining severe injuries, including bilateral hip fractures and a shearing injury to his buttocks. Board of Ed rules required that Julio was to be escorted to the bus. The NYCTA denied liability, claiming they weren’t negligent because Julio ran after the bus. The City denied liability because they claimed the school day was over. At trial, both the Board of Ed who had knowledge of Julio’s poor impulse control and was required to put him safely on the bus, and the NYCTA whose bus driver saw Julio running and made no effort to slow or stop the bus were found to be responsible.
Baby Taylor C. – Taylor’s mother had gained over 50 pounds during the pregnancy, was past due, and had a prolonged first stage and second stage of delivery. These are warning signs of an overly large baby. Baby Taylor was 9 lbs. 13 oz. Instead of delivery by C-section, which was clearly indicated, the attending physician elected a natural birth. When the baby was stuck in the pelvic area, excessive force was used to pull her out, injuring the nerves in her neck and causing partial paralysis of her left arm. The condition is known as Erbs Palsy. The case was settled during the trial. Fortunately, Baby Taylor’s injury improved over time.
Ayisha W- A young girl slid down a sliding pond in the playground of an NYC school. The slide was not installed properly and there was a gap between the metal on the side of the slide. As Ayisha slid down, her ring finger went into the gap and the top of it was cut off. The City argued that since it was just the tip of her finger it was not worth much money. At trial, it was proved that Ayisha had a devastating emotional reaction that affected every aspect of her life and self-esteem. The jury agreed.
A 46-year-old carpenter was working on a straight ladder which had been leaned against the wall on a jobsite. He fell when the ladder slipped away from the wall. As a result, he suffered facial injuries and a fractured knee that required surgery. The property owner and general contractor were found to be responsible because Jian S. should have been provided with a more suitable A-frame ladder or scaffolding.
A 30-year-old carpenter who was working at a job site in a retail store fell from a ladder onto both feet. He suffered bilateral calcaneus fractures requiring multiple surgeries.
An undocumented Mexican immigrant working on scaffolding at a construction site fell 30 feet onto the cement. He fractured his skull and vertebrae in his neck and back. It was shown at trial that the company he worked for failed to provide him with a safety line, which would have prevented his fall.
Following a 4- story fall, a construction worker at a West 17th Street construction site in Manhattan recently won a $5.5 million dollar settlement from the general contractor and building owner for failing to provide him with a safe workplace. Defendants had argued that the fall was the result of the 56 year old construction worker’s own carelessness but Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP lawyers were able to prove otherwise. As a result of his fall, the construction worker suffered fractures of his shoulder, clavicle, ribs and hip, as well as internal injuries which required multiple surgeries. These injuries required home care which was primarily provided by his wife who also received a payment of $500,000 as part of the settlement. To minimize their own responsibility, the general contractor and building owner claimed that the worker had made an excellent recovery when he had not. In order to prove the case, Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP retained 5 separate experts to illustrate the full extent of the worker’s injuries and the disabling effect they would have over the course of his life.
Maria, a housekeeper, was walking across Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn in the crosswalk when she was struck by a school bus and thrown over 25 feet. She sustained severe injuries, including multiple fractures. The bus driver claimed that he had a green light and was travelling at a safe speed. Unfortunately, Mrs. S. could not recall any of the facts of the accident. Our investigator combed the area for witnesses. He found a woman who lived on the sixth floor of an adjacent apartment building. Although she didn’t see the accident, she happened to look out her window and saw Maria’s body lying in the roadway down the street. Using this testimony, our accident reconstruction expert was able to prove that the bus had to be speeding to knock Maria that far from the crosswalk. The case was settled immediately after that testimony.
Our client was a married NYC Parks Department employee. On a snowy night in Staten Island, he was preparing his truck to spread salt on the roadways. He drove the spreader truck to the salt storage yard. As he waited alongside his truck, the operator of a front loader truck used to place the salt in the spreader lost control of the loading bucket. Sadly, he was struck by the bucket, suffered massive injuries and died in the hospital several hours later.
A 21-year-old developmentally disabled Chinese boy was walking with some friends after school when he stepped out into the crosswalk against the light and a City bus which was turning a little too close to the corner struck him. The young man had crippling injuries which prevented him from leaving the hospital where he died several months later. Despite the fact that eyewitnesses said the boy stepped into the street against the light, the law reduces an injured person’s share of liability in accordance with their mental capacity. At trial, it was proven through a guidance counselor from his school that he was intellectually comparable to a seven-year-old. Thereafter, the jury determined that this young man was not legally responsible for his actions and awarded 100% in his favor on the liability portion of the trial
In one of the most tragic cases this office has seen, two mothers and their four teenagers were driving to a high school swimming meet on the New York State Thruway in a van. When the driver suspected a flat tire, instead of pulling over onto the shoulder, the mother of two of the children inexplicably stopped the van in the right moving lane of traffic. Within a very short time, the driver of a tanker truck traveling at a steady 65 miles an hour who claimed not to see the stopped van, struck it at full speed, literally cutting the van in half. There were two survivors with grave injuries and four fatalities. We secured the maximum insurance that was available to cover these claims.
