Slip and fall accidents happen every day in the Bronx, just as they do in cities throughout America. Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents result in more than a million visits to emergency rooms annually, leading to countless broken bones, soft tissue injuries, severe sprains, back injuries, neck injuries, traumatic brain injuries and even, in rare instances, death.
When it’s time to take action, call the attorneys at Feiner & Lavy to fight for you!
At Feiner & Lavy, we see these injuries all the time. As lawyers who seek justice for the injured, it is difficult to visit with the victim of a fall and to see their suffering, while their family struggles with the repercussions of an accident. This is why we have always worked to create a caring practice that will fight for the kind of injury settlement that enables the injured and their families to heal after suffering a personal setback due to another’s negligence.
One question that we often hear is, “Where do these injuries happen?” The answer is that they happen everywhere. They can happen on the sidewalk, in a building lobby, a store or a parking lot. They can happen because someone left something blocking the way or because there was a puddle on the floor that nobody cleaned up or because a sidewalk was left uncleared after a snowstorm, and it iced over. While many of these accidents can sound and seem familiar, the details of each one is different, and it takes an experienced lawyer, one who knows the Bronx, its people, and the corridors of its legal system, to act effectively on your behalf. This is a big reason why Feiner & Lavy should be the first firm you call.
Slip and fall accidents are often listed under a bigger heading: premises liability. This means that the owner of a building is responsible for the conditions that led to an injury. Building owners and the insurance companies who represent them are very aware that these accidents are their responsibility, and it is their job to make you settle for a minimal amount of money.
The expenses you and your family will incur for short-term medical care, long-term rehabilitation, lost wages, reduced professional prospects, pain and suffering, and a diminished quality of life are the categories that the attorneys at Feiner & Lavy will examine to determine just what kind of settlement you are entitled to. That slippery lobby in an apartment building or carelessly placed box in a crowded market aisle were hazards that should have been identified and attended to by the management and owners immediately. Now you are the one paying the price for someone else’s negligence.
