How to Prevent a Summer Slip and Fall Accident in New York from Ruining Next Winter

Each autumn, friends, relatives and the media start reminding us of the dangers of winter slip and fall accidents in New York. Their advice is well taken since ice and snow often create dangerous conditions that can lead to serious slip and fall injuries. However, if you have been hurt in a New York slip and fall during the warmer weather months, then you know that the slip and fall danger is not limited to winter time.

Three Common Warm Weather Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and falls can create injuries during any season. Some common reasons for warm weather slip and fall accidents include:
  • Broken Sidewalks.
  • Wet or Sandy Surfaces.
  • Spilled Food or Drinks.

New York Slip and Fall Law is the Same for All Accidents

New York premises liability law does not differentiate between warm weather and cold weather slip and fall accidents. Generally, you may be able to recover damages for a trip or slip and fall accident in New York if you were injured and the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to take the necessary steps to warn you about the condition or fix it in a timely manner.

Call a New York Slip and Fall Attorney if You've Been Injured

As with any injury claim, the defendant, or the defendant's insurance company, is likely to vigorously defend your claims and try to keep you from recovering the damages to which you may be legally entitled.

For that reason, it is important to contact a New York slip and fall lawyer as soon as possible after your injury. Your lawyer will work hard to present the strongest case on your behalf and zealously defend your legal rights.
