Bronx, New York – Slip and Fall: Suffering an Injury in an Apartment Building

People injured in the lobby of an apartment building call the slip-and-fall injury specialists at Feiner & Lavy.

If you’ve had a slip and fall accident in a Bronx apartment building, you could have a really tough fight on your hands. In our mind, we have an image of the landlord being a guy who owns one or a few buildings and might be tough but will eventually cave and settle a claim. The truth is that you may have fallen in a building where the building owner is a big corporation or a fund, and these guys have deep pockets and come ready to defend every dollar.

These guys won’t go easy on you, so don’t go easy on them. At Feiner & Lavy, we have been in these fights and know how to go after the people whose negligence led to injuries that have left you immobile, in pain and not able to participate in normal activities.

Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents can happen anywhere in a building. You can come in out of the rain and slip on a wet marble lobby floor. Or you could be walking down a hallway where the carpeting is old and stretched. You didn’t notice that the carpeting had bunched up, but it caught your foot, you tripped and fell.

In either case, before you know it you can find yourself in an ambulance heading to the hospital. The floor in most buildings, regardless of the covering, is concrete, and this is a very hard surface. The impact from a fall can break bones in your arms, damage joins like your elbows, wrists or shoulders, crack ribs, injure your back or neck, or, in severe cases, lead to traumatic brain injury. Injuries of this nature can leave you laid up at home for weeks, months or even years, and can require many hours of difficult rehab. The life you knew may be gone forever.

If you suffer a fall like this, you or a companion should try to take pictures of the slippery floor, bunched carpet or anything that may have led to your fall. Building maintenance staff generally won’t hesitate to cover up a problem to save themselves from responsibility, embarrassment, and disciplinary action by their employer.
