A Brooklyn Slip and Fall Lawyer Who Fights for You
Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere in Brooklyn, anytime and without notice. You may be walking down the stairs of the entrance to one of Brooklyn's many apartment buildings, walking on a sidewalk, shopping at a department store or buying groceries at your local supermarket, when a crack on the stairs, a hole in the sidewalk or some wet, greasy substance on the floor, caused you to slip or trip and fall resulting in personal injuries through no fault of your own. Suddenly, your whole life has changed. Your injuries have made it difficult or impossible for you to work. You need regular medical treatment and your personal life has been affected. You need to get better medically and you need compensation from whoever caused your accident.

Serious Cases Need Tough Attorneys
Have you been injured as the result of a fall?
If you answered yes, you will need to know your rights under New York State Law and what monetary damages you may be entitled to. Did you slip and fall due to icy conditions on the street or staircase? Did you fall due to a broken or cracked sidewalk or pothole that needed to be repaired by the landowner or the City of New York? Did you slip in a supermarket due to wetness on the floor that the supermarket workers should have cleaned up? Did you fall down a staircase because of a broker handrail, broken step, improper lighting, or wetness on one of the steps? Did you trip and fall due to a hidden danger in a store or on a sidewalk?
