Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, but victims become particularly intimidated if they suffer an injury while visiting a government office. People wonder if they really can sue the government, and the answer is YES!
Justice is for all in America, especially those injured due to negligence. Feiner & Lavy is here to help. Call today for a free consultation!
We won’t lie to you: these aren’t the easiest cases to pursue, but the Bronx personal injury law firm of Feiner & Lavy stands by our commitment to fight for your injury settlement, whether your accident occurred on the steps of the Bronx Hall of Justice or in a corridor at Borough Hall.
New York City and other municipalities or government agencies in New York have a special statute of limitations, so time is really of the essence. The victim of an accident on city property must file a notice of claim within 90 days of an injury, and has to file a lawsuit in one year and 90 days. In comparison, you have three years to file a suit if it’s against a private property owner, so this puts you as a plaintiff at a disadvantage.
But we do have good news! Feiner & Lavy is a highly professional law firm that has established great processes for assembling, filing and fighting for our personal injury clients. We are not the kind of a law firm that is going to step on the brakes because we have another part of our firm that may want to do business with the City of New York. We have no such conflicts of interest. Our only concern is you and your case and moving as swiftly as possible to hold the city or an agency responsible for failing to keep you safe.
If you suffer an accident, follow the steps we always outline to clients:
- Take care of yourself and get medically checked out even if you don’t think you have a serious injury.
- Call 9-1-1 and file a police report. If someone is with you, try to get the names of witnesses. Notice the circumstances that caused your fall, like a spill on the floor, and any cameras that may have recorded your accident.
- Call Feiner & Lavy!
