The Law Office of Tom Guccione

Slips, Trips and Falls

Slip and Fall Injury Lawyer in Brooklyn, New York

Experienced Personal Injury Representation for Clients Throughout the New York City Area

Slip and fall injuries that result from hazardous property conditions are pursued as premises liability claims. These injuries arise from a wide range of situations, including defective stairways, uneven sidewalks or other walkways, icy pavement, debris on walking surfaces, and slippery floors. Slip and fall accidents can result in serious injuries, such as fractured wrists, broken hips, knee injuries or head trauma.

After a slip and fall injury, you may have many questions and concerns, including:

• How will I pay my medical bills?
• Will I be compensated for my time lost from work?
• Should I accept the insurance company's offer?
• Will I be compensated for the effect of this accident on my family as I recuperate?
• What if I am permanently injured because of this accident?
• What if I need surgery 10 years from now because of this accident?

Were You Injured in a Slip and Fall Accident?

Property owners have the duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions on their premises for the protection of occupants and visitors. Both public entities (such as the MTA and the City of New York) and private property owners (such as landlords, retail store owners and corporations) have this responsibility, and if you are hurt as a result of their failure to live up to this duty, you deserve just compensation for your loss. These entities are also responsible for repairing or shovelling walking surfaces in a timely manner and warning people of possible dangers.

Tom Guccione is well-versed in the many facets of slip and fall law. He handles claims arising from:

• Falls due to defective or broken stairways and railings
• Trips on debris
• Slips on ice
• Sidewalk and roadway defects such as potholes, cracks and uneven surfaces

Whether you have been injured in a retail shop, grocery store, apartment building, or on a city sidewalk or road, Mr. Guccione has the experience you need to effectively pursue your claim and assert your best interests with the insurance company at every stage, whether in investigating facts, settlement negotiations or trial.
