Know Your Rights

The Fall Was Not Your Fault. Someone Should Answer For It.

New York premises-liability law holds property owners, landlords, and managers responsible for keeping their property reasonably safe. When they ignore a wet floor, a broken stair, an icy entrance, or a hidden hazard, and you get hurt, they may be liable for your injuries.

If the owner knew, or should have known, about the danger and failed to fix it or warn you, you may have a valid claim for your bills, your lost wages, and your pain. Most people never find out. We help you find out for free.

You do not have to prove the owner created the hazard, only that they knew about it (actual notice), or that it sat there long enough that they should have caught it (constructive notice). How long the danger was there, and whether there was any warning sign, can decide your case.

Common Scenarios

Where Slip & Falls Happen

If you were hurt in any of these, a property owner may be responsible. Tell us what happened and we'll review it for free.

Stores & Supermarkets

Wet floors, spills, freezer leaks, and cluttered aisles that were never cleaned or marked.

Apartment Buildings

Broken stairs, loose handrails, dark hallways, and hazards a landlord failed to repair.

Sidewalks & Curbs

Cracked pavement, raised slabs, potholes, and ice or snow that was never cleared.

Restaurants & Bars

Greasy kitchens, spilled drinks, wet entrances, and slick floors left without a warning.

Parking Lots & Garages

Potholes, poor lighting, oil slicks, and untreated ice on ramps and walkways.

At Work & Job Sites

Unsafe conditions on the job, where you may have a claim beyond workers' compensation.
Serious Harm

Slip & Fall Injuries We See

A fall can do lasting damage, and the more serious the injury, the more your claim may be worth. These are the injuries we see most often.

Fractures & Broken Bones

Hip, wrist, and ankle fractures are common, and a broken hip can be especially serious for older adults.

Back & Spine Injuries

Herniated discs and compression fractures that can cause chronic pain, numbness, and lost mobility.

Head & Brain Injuries

Concussions and brain injuries, with headaches, dizziness, or memory problems that can last for months.

Torn Ligaments & Soft Tissue

Torn knee ligaments (ACL, MCL), meniscus tears, and rotator cuff injuries that often need surgery or a long recovery.

Feeling okay right now? Some slip and fall injuries do not show up for days. Acting quickly protects your claim, before the evidence fades and the deadlines pass.

Your Legal Firepower

Why You Need a Slip & Fall Lawyer in Your Corner

The property owner's insurance company already has lawyers protecting their money. We connect you with a vetted premises-liability attorney whose only job is protecting yours, at no cost to you.

They Prove Negligence

Your attorney gathers the footage, incident reports, and records that show the owner failed to keep you safe.

They Take On the Insurer

Your attorney handles every adjuster, call, and lowball offer, so you never face the property owner's insurer alone.

They Fight for Full Compensation

A lawyer pursues the full settlement you may be owed for your pain, your lost wages, and your lasting injuries.

$0 Unless You Win

Every attorney we match you with works on contingency. No retainer, no hourly bills, nothing unless they win for you.

Evidence Disappears Fast

The Longer You Wait, the Weaker Your Case

Security footage of your fall is often erased within days. The wet floor gets mopped, the broken step gets repaired, and witnesses forget what they saw. The sooner you act, the more evidence your attorney can preserve, and strict legal deadlines apply. We can usually get you seen and your case reviewed the same day you call.

What To Do After a Slip & Fall

The minutes and hours after your fall can make or break your case. If you can, do these before the evidence is gone. Already left the scene? Call us anyway, we can still help.

1

Photograph the Hazard

Take photos and video of what made you fall, the wet floor, ice, broken step, plus the wider area, any warning signs, and the lighting.

2

Get Witnesses

Ask anyone who saw the fall for their name and phone number. A neutral witness can be the difference in your claim.

3

Report It in Writing

Tell the store manager, landlord, or building super and ask them to file a written incident report. Then ask for your own copy.

4

Watch What You Say

Do not tell the manager it was your fault or give the insurer a recorded statement. An offhand apology can be used against you.

5

Keep Everything

Save your shoes and clothing, any receipts and paperwork, and all your photos. It all becomes evidence.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Is Gotham Injury a law firm? +

No. Gotham Injury is a personal injury consulting and referral service, not a law firm. We connect you with independent, vetted attorneys. We do not provide legal advice.

How much does this cost me? +

Our consultation is completely free with no obligation. The premises-liability attorneys we refer work on contingency, so there is no legal fee unless they recover compensation for you.

How do I know if I have a case? +

If a property owner or manager failed to fix or warn about a hazard that caused your fall, you may have a claim. The fastest way to find out is a free review. Tell us what happened and we will give it to you straight.

What if the fall was partly my fault? +

You may still have a case. New York uses a rule called pure comparative negligence, which means you can still recover even if you were partly to blame, your amount is just reduced by your share of fault. Even if you think the fall was partly on you, it is worth a free review.

Can I sue my landlord? +

Often, yes. In New York a landlord generally must keep common areas reasonably safe. If a broken stair rail, a wet lobby floor with no sign, or an icy walkway they should have handled caused your fall, you may have a claim. Every case depends on the details, so let us review yours for free.

What if I fell on public or city property? +

You may still have a claim, but the deadlines are far shorter. A claim against the city or a public authority can require a formal Notice of Claim within about 90 days of your fall, not the usual three years. If your fall happened on a public sidewalk, in a housing authority building, or on government property, call as soon as possible so nothing is missed.

How long do I have to act? +

In New York, the deadline for most slip and fall injury claims is generally three years, but claims against a government body can be far shorter, and the evidence that proves your case disappears quickly. The sooner you act, the stronger your position.

Is my information confidential? +

Yes. Everything you share is strictly confidential and used only to connect you with the right attorney for your case.
