If a slip and fall accident lands you in the hospital, call Feiner & Lavy!
Hanging out on the front stoop on a nice evening in the Bronx is one of the great pleasures of city life. Unfortunately, a slip and fall down the front porch may have happened because of the negligence of the building’s owner or manager, and you could be entitled to a monetary settlement because of your injuries.
The law firm of Feiner & Lavy specializes in slip and fall accidents like these, knows what to look for and has strategies for investigating accidents that help us to help you win the settlement you need and deserve.
A slip and fall accident on your front stoop could happen for reasons like crumbling or dangerous stairs, a loose handrail, uneven stairs or rotting wood. If something is structurally deficient, even if it has been in a state of decay for a long time, the responsibility for the situation resides with the property owner. There can also be incidents where puddles don’t drain and sit on steps or a slippery substance like soap, oil or paint is spilled and either not cleaned up or a warning wasn’t posted declaring that the area posed a hazard. Incidents of this nature fall under a category called premises liability and indicate that the property owner is responsible.
This doesn’t have to happen at a building where you reside. It can happen when you are visiting a friend or a relative, and you suffer a slip and fall on the stoop through no fault of your own because of a hazardous condition.
No matter your age or physical condition, one thing is for certain: hard materials like wood and concrete that are used to build a front stoop and sidewalk are very unforgiving to a body. When you land, the results are likely to be severe. Broken arms, injuries to joints like an elbow or knee, neck injuries, and severe head injuries are all likely. Any of these will require months to recover from if you can recover at all. There will be hospitalization, possible surgery, almost certain physical therapy – all of which cost money. Lost wages or needing to move from your current apartment because of an injury are other expenses you will need as part of your recovery. And what if you are a serious cyclist who is losing one of the great pleasures in life because of an accident that is no fault of your own? Accidents can change someone’s life for a long time or forever. These are the reasons that you need to contact a top Bronx personal injury law firm like Feiner & Lavy.
