Bronx, New York – Slip and Fall: Suffering an Injury on a Broken Sidewalk

Broken or poorly maintained sidewalks lead to injuries. If you are hurt, call the Bronx personal injury law firm of Feiner & Lavy today!

The Bronx is a place where we get around on our feet. In fact, according to an article from a few years back, only about 25-percent of New York City residents are believed to have a driver’s license. This is a pretty low percentage for the U.S., but it seems pretty natural here. Everyone in New York City knows that subways, buses, cabs, Uber and our feet are how we get from Point A to Point B.

Unfortunately, negligent property owners in the Bronx can let their properties deteriorate – specifically, the sidewalks. And sidewalks that are broken or that are heaving because tree roots are lifting them up or are obstructed by trash cans lead to slip and fall accidents that injure people in the Bronx every year.

If you, a family member or friend experience a slip and fall on a sidewalk because it is in poor repair, you need to call the personal injury professionals at Feiner & Lavy!

Property owners have a responsibility to ensure that their walks are clear of debris and in well-maintained condition. Broken or uneven sidewalks can be difficult to detect, especially at night in an area that is poorly lit, and this can cause someone to fall and suffer a broken bone, soft tissue damage or a laceration. This will cost you money out of pocket for immediate medical care, plus costs for rehabilitation, lost wages, more expensive transportation options, food delivery and a loss of enjoyment in your life. If this happens to you or a loved one, you owe it to yourself to call the best personal injury firm for broken sidewalk injuries in the Bronx, Feiner & Lavy.

A property owner, his lawyer or his insurance company may tell you that those broken sidewalks aren’t his fault – it’s because of a tree that’s been there since long before he bought the property. The lawyers at Feiner & Lavy aren’t going to give this guy or his defenders excuses much consideration. The owner may not live in the building but making sure it’s maintained inside and out is entirely his responsibility. If the sidewalk has become broken because of years of wear or a tree has caused the sidewalk to buckle and heave, then he needed to have that fixed long before you fell.

At Feiner & Lavy, we will take the fight to the property owner and make sure that you and your family are taken care of for your injuries today and for the care you may need in the future.
