New Yorkers, Do You Walk Quickly? Learn Why Your New York Slip and Fall Lawyer Wants to Know

Nobody wants to be hurt in a New York slip and fall accident. While the physical pain, emotional trauma and financial loss may be recoverable in a lawsuit, it would be much simpler to avoid the whole thing.

A recent study conducted by biomechanics researchers at Clemson University and the College of Charleston have concluded that the best way to stay safe on a slippery surface may not be what we think. Specifically, the researchers have concluded that walking across a slippery surface quickly and with a firm footed stance may be safer than walking slowly or timidly across the same surface.

As a New York slip and fall lawyer who has seen the significant injuries suffered by many of my clients, I want you to be able to avoid a similar fate. However, I know that no matter how you walk, slippery surfaces are dangerous and may lead to significant injuries.

If you have been hurt in a slip and fall accident, New York law may allow you to recover damages. Please contact an experienced New York slip and fall attorney at Hofmann & Schweitzer.
